There are a lot of bears on the eastside of King County.  I'm hearing of a lot of nuisance bears ruining fruit trees.  I'd say look up some public land near developed areas.  You'll see them in the last half hour of shooting.

There is no better to place to hunt bears in this state than NE WA.

i dont agree, i got lots of places over here on the west side that are full of bears. just depends how hard you wanna work to get one


and as far a hound hunters go, you aint gotta worry bout them messing up your bear hunting spots. timber companys dont lease out enough of them to do much, really the only place i know that does alot is that hancok area

I know myself and at least one other site member who have had hunts ruined in the Capitol Forest by hound hunters during the spring permit hunts.

theres a gazillion bears up at capital forest, theres no way that could happen. theres way to many bears there, and capital forest is huge. i doubt that hounders hunt every area in capital forest ruining it for others. i could believe that maybe on a hunt you could cross hound hunters and that may mess up where you were planning to hunt for the day, but thats  bout it

Well you'd be wrong in your assessment of a "gazillion" and also wrong with "too many" as they have been knocking the crap out of them the last 4 or 5 years. F&G is having a hard time trapping any the last couple years. I know a couple guys that are actually working on paperwork to support an argument to end the spring hunts in the CF do to overharvest.

Your right as that would be illegal, though it does happen.

That is what happens most of the time, but it ruins the area for more then a day.

Hey, you may give a new unique perspective that the program needs. Don't count yourself out. Sometimes the best thing a group like this needs is new blood, a different perspective and approach.

Hound - I agree with Iceman. Coming from a different perspective may be a tad uncomfortable, but if you know your stuff you may impart wisdom that they may be lacking. So if you enjoy hunting them, why wouldn't you want to learn more about them? Some of the kids in that program are hunters. I know, that is how I heard about it, from a kid deer hunting the CF.
