There are so many bears in there its not even funny. To bad you didn't get a tag RR. It would of been a pretty easy hunt for your first bear.

Why don't you think before you post or at least know what you are talking about?

yeah calling bears to within 10 to 30 feet is a waste of time,spotting one a few hundred yrds out and shooting it is much more rewarding,you don't have to worry about the Adrenalin rushing through out your body.or the actual skill and time put in for such an effort being as rewarding as as poking one way out there..besides I like wasting my time.maybe someday I can be a legend in my own mind

A waste as in it is easier to kill a beer if you use binos. I think calling is not as effective as spot and stalk. I'm sure you are using a longbow also since you want it to be so rewarding and to take all this skill?

Lol. I am sure I know 100 times more about hunting bears in Hancock then you do. I can't believe you even posted on this thread. When was the last time you hunted Hancock? The spring hunt is a gimme if you want to kill a bear. You spend a couple of evenings in there in a decent spot and you will see a bear or four.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Anyone heard of anyone having any success in there this year?

No Ridgerunner, I have not. Of course, about the only place I would hear about it, would be on here.... :chuckle: :chuckle:

I can't believe we still allow you to post here...I guess we enjoy watching you make an ass of yourself.

Maybe you know Hankcock better then I do, but having checked the harvest reports and talked to dozens of hunters since the westside spring hunts have started, I can say that unit is not a slam dunk.
It is an easy unit to draw and many people don't hunt it, but yet we only see or hear of a couple bears killed every spring.
100 permits in 2006 and only 2 bears killed.
100 permits in 2007 and only 5 bears killed.
Now it is up to 150 permits and only a few killed a year is not a slam dunk in my book.

Having hunted hancock for the last 10 years I would say its not a slam dunk but probably closer to a lay up if you know what your doing. My buddies little brother has a tag this year and has already shot at a bear or two. If you know where to find their food supply have a good set of binos you could see multiple bears a night.

Based on the talk - it sounds like he and his friends have filled the statistics BTKR posted.  Weird one group making the whole unit's statistics... 

I don't believe we will see any pictures...pictures are for people that know how to use a camera.....All he knows is bears...

I called in 32 bears this morning,I was wheezing so bad on the 32 bear,which would have gone 26 inches dry, I coughed and he ran off.I had to come out early the 26 mile hike out in this heat would have killed me..I'm gonna wear shoes tomarrow,and bring a bottle of water in case I get thirsty.I will have to stop by bearmanricks and pick up some calls..I wore out the ones I used today.btkr if you want to learn something about bears gimmie a call.... anyway now for some lies..I found alot of crapola today.and what looks like an area where some scrapping went on,tried blowing the calls but my allergies are kicking my but..good luck all of you..I just got done taking the claws off my last bear.wow talk about stink,I went with a shoulder mount instaed of full size,so got some wet hide and paws.
