No Berries, No Sign, No Bears.
The area I hunt is pretty high. It seems like the berries were thick at this time of last year. Anyone else noticing this?

I'm still glassing the areas.... I know there are bears in there. It's just nice to see a little sign, you know? I've been super busy with my new house for the last month so haven't been out to scout yet but I plan on hit my areas pretty hard until deer season when I go to the eastside.

I have only seen berries up at around 5,000 feet this early once. I shot a bear on August 11th I believe, 3 years ago and his stomach was full of them. It does look like it will be a good crop this year though, just going to be later. Will probably be 3 or 4 weeks until its decent up where I go.

They sure are thick over here in the Blues. In fact, my family and I have picked about 8 gallons of huckleberries over the last two weeks. The area we hit the most often is at 5,560 ft.
Unfortunately, I have another month to wait for the opener here.

Blueberries were not in much this weekend. Suspect 2 more weeks will be better. Some patches were in but I'd say on the margin of less than 5 percent were ripe. I was up about 5500 feet north of Highway 2.

Berries up high aren't going to be ripe yet even with the hot summer we have had, give it a few weeks.

I agree. Saw plenty of berries lower - where it's much harder to see the bears amongst the brush.

Yes, I should quantify my reply, "high" bear hunting up this way is 5-7000'.

4,000 ft, and lots of ripe berries, but no bears, and no bear sign at all..

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.
Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
