Lots of bears at the cabin. Hope to knock a few down next week

Lots of bears in this state....everyone should whack at least one a year.  We really need an over the counter spring bear hunt, but that will never happen.

Cherry tree bear.  He’s a little bugger.

Walked out into the meadow looking off to my left, swung my head the other direction and saw this bruiser. Backed up behind a tree and some bushes to get a few pics, then quietly backed out.

That’s a good looking bear, would look better in someone’s freezer though

Of course I haven't seen nada since August 1.
I've been holding off on doing any calling for bears until Sept 1 .
Id be pretty sad if I called in a cougar,then on top of that educate that cougar.

August....spot and stalk
September, call and wait.

My plan probably will be unsuccessful,but that's the plan.

Yes that's a shooter.
I hope that wasn't in August here,cause that would be a great opportunity.👍

Does anyone have intel about elevations they’re seeing bears in the Blues/foothills? 

I’m very familiar with the blue mtn foothills from deer hunting it many years, but have only spent time there in spring and fall, never August. I know a couple areas where I’ve seen plenty of bear sign in October, they are in a lower elevation river bottom.   

I’m taking the family camping/deer scouting this weekend and hope to get in a little time bear hunting as well.  Anyway - if anyone has been out and has some general suggestions I’d love to hear them.  Otherwise I’ll look for ripe berries and go from there.  Thanks
