 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?

Yes, one of the first GI passes post hibernation.  Subsequent will be more digested but will still be recognizable as grasses.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

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.

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.  :bash: 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.
