AUGUST 1ST!

[zackmioli]

Just over a week to go! Im excited. Think I'm gonna head up above Greenwater somewhere. Attempt to find some berries and clearcuts.

Just curious who else will be in the hills and what areas people will be targeting!? If you don't want to give up that info I understand, just make it general, westside, east side, etc.

Hope to hear some great stories and see some awesome pictures and have some of my own to post! Good luck to everyone. Finally we will have hunting to talk about again!

Gonna be out between St. Helens and Adams.  Up high, watching the berry areas, and alpine meadows.
Maybe do some calling.

Battle ground, Washougal units mostly.  Might get up to Siouxon if I can get my family to go with me.  I dont like going up that far with no phone service by myself. 

The wait is killing me.  Im buying a freezer this weekend just in case.   

[coyotemadness]

I'm going to a wedding. 
I'll be out on the 2nd though. Westside.

I'm thinking of going.  I usually bow hunt but think I'll use the rifle this time.  West side, probably along the coast.

Temps better come down or I won't go, excited about it or not.  80 degrees at 7 in the morning, triple digits afternoon.   NOT bear hunting weather.

Very true might have to just do evening hunts or not at all.

the lake is looking feeling too good to go out and sweat me balls off looking for a brush pig...sept is a better time for me, me thinks...

I was told the hotter the better over some water?  That the Bear need water several times per day
