Me too.  Sad that I am so pathetic I am just as excited about someone else out hunting.  I am having hunting withdrawals and its only been a month since I stop hunting coyotes.  I might have to go shoot some puppies if I dont get some help.   :chuckle:  J/K

The weather should have been good for the westside guys.

Any reports?

Good luck everyone!! Be the first year in five that I won't be out there hunting or helping.  Maybe I'll get some fishing in :dunno:  Or some scouting for my multiseason elk tag :tung: :chuckle:

If I would have had a bear tag in my pocket yesterday I could have taken the first one of the season. A really nice Cinnamon boar that I would say was pushing 300 and not a single rub anywhere on him. He walked out fro behind some rocks and side-hilled while we watched him he started about 400 yards away and got to within 250 before he smelled something he wanted to go look at. The best part of it all is I had a rookie hunter with me and between the tom he almost shot, and the bear he was ecstatic.

I was in the Copalis unit Wednesday dawn til dark and saw no new sign or bears. I looked down into the field below my house this morning and what do you think i saw? Yeah,  a bear! too bad I didn't live in the unit that my tag is for. It was too small, I wouldn't have shot him anyway. But my Buddie and I will be heading back to copalis again tomorrow morning. Maybe we will get lucky and have some pics to show.

And the wait continues. . . . . . . . . . .  :camp:

Wonder if a Bear is going to drop this weekend.  Havn't gotten any calls yet.  Hope you guys didn't kill them all off last fall.   :chuckle:

What the heck? I expected to get on here today and read some bear success stories, see some harvest pics, and maybe even see a contender for the Hunt-WA Predator Trophy. What gives? :dunno:
