I'm heading out to look for bear tomorrow. I'm probably gonna start up West of Colville. Has anyone been seeing bears out and about? How is the snow and how's the green up going?

I wasn't in 121, but I had a bear show up on my camera last Saturday out in 111. There wasn't anymore snow left where I was at, which is at 3800'.

I was out last weekend. I saw a sow and 2 Cubs. Not much snow left.

I was across the highway. Spotted my first spring bear yesterday. They are starting to move.

I was off hunter Springdale road last weekend and no snow with lots of green compared to last year when I had a spring bear tag. We did stop and talk to a group that said they saw 1 bear and they had been up there for 2 weeks chasing turkeys.

Average sized bear. Too late in the day to make a move or I probably would have made a move to try and kill it.

My son and I spent 2 days hunting north of Colville this week. Saw a moose at 60yards, no sign of bear at all. It seems dry and the green-up is only at lower elevations. Froze at night.
Ticks are definitely out. Heading back later this month.

Same for me as everyone else - have been out several times, including Saturday all day. No snow, green is coming up well, but haven't seen a single piece of sign in my good areas. Thinking they've just been hitting the snooze button this spring. I HAVE seen a LOT more ungulates than in the past, spotting both elk, moose, and deer almost every day. Pretty stoked I haven't seen ANY wolf sign around Springdale Hunters, like I have in the past. Wonder if the fire pushed them out of the area.

I'm heading out Friday after work for memorial weekend I've seen moose and elk on my last trips. Hope to see bear this time around. Should I focus up high or down low?

jrebel · « **Reply #15 on:** May 19, 2019, 06:37:25 PM »

They are out. I started catching them on camera 2 weeks ago...but in the last 5-7 days they have been on my cameras almost daily. There is grass literally everywhere. I would cover gound until I found scat...then I would hunt those area hard. Old grown over grassy roads, clearcuts, etc. Good luck.

dune · « **Reply #16 on:** May 20, 2019, 07:16:50 AM »

You should use fawn call in nice low grassy area with water

jrebel · « **Reply #17 on:** May 20, 2019, 07:21:16 AM »

Here is a couple pics to get you pumped up.

And now for the coordinates......

Boomerboy87 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 20, 2019, 08:25:40 AM »

Both of my hunting partners backed out on me again. If anyone in the area wants to get together and hunt I'd be happy to have your company this memorial weekend.

That second bear is a toad!!

dune · « **Reply #21 on:** May 21, 2019, 07:58:27 AM »

Wish I could run over for the weekend. The bear hunting should be good if you can get away from roads. I need to fill my tag for 121 also.
