Help Me Please! :)
« on: August 16, 2009, 06:12:15 PM »
My name is Jessica I'm 22 years old. This is my first year bear hunting (archery). I'm very excited about it! I've been hunting a spot outside of Issaquah that seemed promising, called in a few bears but in the last week it seems that someone or something has ran all of the bears out. I haven't heard or seen anything. It's very frustrating. If anyone has any spots that they are willing to share I would be very thankful! Does anyone know of any good spots where you have been seeing bears on a regular basis??? Thanks Guys!   :hello:

Bear will become call shy as fast or faster then the smartest yote.  When you say you called them in before, what happened?  Did they figure out what was up or did you choose not to shoot them?  Once you call one in and he figures out something is wrong they are not going to be called back in with the same call and cadence.

I bet the primary food source has changed. If you are not finding fresh sign then there is no sense in calling.

I would suggest some more scouting in the general area and look for recent feeding activity. If it has been hot and the berries are not ripe (or done already) then you may look in the draws and drainages that hold water and other food sources like huck and salal.

Good luck.

If you are so tight on your spots, why are you always asking others to share their locations?   :dunno:

Women :)  Think they can stroll right in and get what they want! JK JK...but seriously, for your 2nd post, don't ask for everyone's secret spot..../sigh

BTW I'm also looking for secret spots for guarenteed animals, please PM with GPS coordinate locations, and if you could drive me to the spot I'd also appreciate it, and if you're packing the cooler I only drink Evian Water, and i enjoy Dijon Mustard with my Turkey Sandwhich, also, I only have a .22 handgun, so if you had an extra rifle that'd be great.  Is it better to call or just watch?  Also is the "National Park" open?  I saw a bear in there one time. Thanks for your help!

I bet they are to northwest trek..... ;)

I already sent you a PM and basically agree with the food source has changed....just stick with it and ignore these buffoons  :chuckle: :chuckle: no one is going to hand out spots but I have a feeling you don't need a new spot just a change in tactics ;)

welcome to the boards and post over on the ladies forum with stories from your previous hunts.....

Here is a nice reply from our new member. (Hey buddy there are people in this world that are willing to help out other people. Which is why I asked that question to begin with so if you have nothing nice to say dont say anything at all. Thanks :)
  I am sorry you felt my response was rude it kind of was. The poblem is most of us have been given good leads through out the years but those leads usally come from an investment you have made with someone over time not a blanket request over the net besides any tip you get will be tainted by 500 other people seening it. make friends with someone and learn the ropes or ask advise but please dont ask for my Spots. and the guys that are giving these Spots away may be giving someone else speacial place away its a bad deal all the way around. I dont mind helping you I just dont like the way you went about it.

I think it is my duty as an admin on here to let you know Jessica that BACKWOODS is a freak.   Pay attention to folks lik BTKR, killbilly, Tlbradford and a couple others when it comes to bear.  Backwoods is interested in a different kind of bare.
