Who else is holding a tag? Have you been out yet?

I managed a couple hours after work today.

I'm going to show by bear hunting ignorance with this question, but what are we looking at with the grass pics? Has that grass already made a trip through a bear?

I believe that is their butt plug! Correct me if I’m wrong not an expert on bear feces

Yes, one of the first GI passes post hibernation. Subsequent will be more digested but will still be recognizable as grasses.

Good luck, I hunted it last year and struck out.

I don't think that is poop with the grass. I think it is vomit. My dog does that when she is sick and her vomit looks just like that after eating grass. I think it would be more processed if it went completely through the bear. Probably just spring cleaning.

Any good this weekend? Weather was perfect.

Elk hunter4ever · « **Reply #14 on:** April 29, 2019, 09:17:53 AM »

My first day and first 30 minutes of my hunt almost filled my skagit spring bear tag. I missed a bear at 40 yards. Forgot to aim low.

It was my *censored* fault. Didn't expect to see anything this early. Was happy my two boys got to see him too. Better luck next weekend I hope.

Bears that poop bullets should probably be left alone, but any bear that is dumping loaded cartridges might be worth following around.

We should have a debate on which end of the bear this came out of:

Your dog doesn't Hibernate, this is bear poopy.

More peels:

What's up with the duct tape on the Mainline lock?

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #22 on:** April 30, 2019, 05:18:31 AM »

Its so they can leave the note about not giving the combo away

Skyhigh · « **Reply #23 on:** April 30, 2019, 07:03:42 AM »

I would think it’s reminding people to “spin” the combo and not leave it for the world to see what the numbers are.

Looks like your getting closer to finding a nice bear!

1 sighting so far, we saw the South end of a Northbound color phase for about 1.5 seconds.

TheSkyBuster · « **Reply #26 on:** May 03, 2019, 06:20:18 PM »

No bear yet, but it looks like I am finally going to be on the People on Cams thread.

TheSkyBuster · « **Reply #27 on:** May 03, 2019, 06:25:42 PM »

But seriously if that's your camera shoot me a P.M. I saw a critter (that I think as a bobcat) walk right past it at 7:30 pm(ish) last Saturday. I didn't notice the camera until today, and I'm curious if it was actually a bobcat I saw.

X-Force · « **Reply #28 on:** May 14, 2019, 08:58:39 AM »

Any updates?

TheSkyBuster · « **Reply #29 on:** May 14, 2019, 10:53:14 AM »

Update: I quit taking pictures of every pile of bear poopy I came across. (I have about 25 photos if anyone wants to see them.). I have seen 2 bears now, no shot opportunities yet.

roadhuntking · « **Reply #30 on:** May 14, 2019, 12:37:39 PM »

Drew the tag also. Got out about 7 times early but havent been able to get out in a couple weeks. Seen one peel, tracks in snow and one pile. No bear

No bear yet? They’ve been all over the roads.

Salmonstalker · « **Reply #32 on:** May 21, 2019, 12:28:27 PM »

I heard of two being killed over the weekend... One being a big chocolate boar.

Shannon · « **Reply #33 on:** May 21, 2019, 12:36:21 PM »

The big chocolate boar is one of the prettiest bears I have seen. Will make a beautiful mount.

X-Force · « **Reply #34 on:** May 21, 2019, 01:00:04 PM »

Is the person who got the boat on here or instagram?

Elk hunter4ever · « **Reply #35 on:** May 21, 2019, 08:47:40 PM »

Glad to hear some skagit bears going down. I was able to get out a few hrs Saturday morning with my boys. No bears, plenty of fresh peels. Seen a few grouse and a couple deer. Amazing views from up on top.Won't be able to get after it again hard until the first weekend in June. 7 years ago today I filled my skagit tag with a nice boar in my cover photo.

Yes it is. I got the low down from the dad yesterday, he was so proud- with good reason. It was so cool that he got to tag along and be apart of that hunt. I hope I get to do that with my boys once their old enough (they're 4 and 6 right now, so I have a minute).

X-Force · « **Reply #37 on:** May 29, 2019, 08:28:23 AM »

Any bears down over the long weekend?
