Any of you guys who hunt mostly Skagit ever see color phase bruins?

That's an awesome bear! Ya I was the passenger seat in the silver Toyota opening morning. We were planning on walking up that dandy road you guys got him on, but looks like we were just a minute too late! :chuckle: Have you been back up that road and if so, seen more sign? I'm heading back up this week.

Yeah I ran up there to check for any fresh sign this last weekend and there was no new activity. I went both ways and there was no sign or any fresh peels. I did see some peels this weekend but they were behind a gate off of 20. We didnt mean to snake you opening day. We were just stopping to walk that road because it looked good and then we saw the peels. We ended up killing him the next night actually.

Thanks Bruce! We definitely got lucky on that one. I've been up several times since then and have seen very little for sign and haven't seen a bear. Glad to hear you saw one, hopefully they start getting more active as we move into May. I'm driving a blue Chevy Silverado crew cab with a Kuiu sticker in the back if you see me up there on the hill flag me down. Good luck! Clint
