Berries are definitely behind schedule!

They sure are. But if we continue to get some moisture, it could be a bumper crop. At least for the west side blackberries.

I’ll be hanging around 3000’ come opener weekend.

Are you on the East or West side?

East, always east.

I did find some hucks getting dark at 2400’ today

Idk about everyone else’s areas but where I live we have bears all year from 350’ to 4’000 or more. They don’t migrate they live at all elevations.  There has been a crazy amount of plant growth this spring

He doesn't like the way you smell.

That’s actually the same facial expression my wife gets when I come home from hiking 10+ miles looking for bears in mid July.

I’d say they’ve been eating good. Pulled these cards today, not even bear cameras.

Ran into some bear sign at 7000+ on the east side this weekend. 5-6 piles. Some a week or so old, and some "yesterday" fresh. Was a little surprised to see bear sign so high up already...

Saw one up off the PCT on Saturday, 5000 feet, S facing slope, snacking on glacier lillies.  He'll probably have moved on in 3 weeks, but cool to see one there.
