I dont know if there are any 300#+ bears around here, but spring is coming and somebody is going to get drawn....

Mt. st. helens and mt. adams offer some good bears. 300# is a tough trophy but there around.

No Big bears on Mt Adams.   Seriusly, I know where thereare a couple biguns but you got to hike in about 8 miles.  Horses are always nice.

yes the coast is loaded with them but most down here are in garbage cans and back yards. looking for upper coastal inland areas to pack in mainly photo op's.. i dont get to take alot of leave being military so when i get it i gotta make her count...

ive got my sights set on one that will go over 300 easy, been just behind him for two years now but hoping to draw a spring tag

I'm embarrassed to admit I don't recall ever seeing a bear in the wild in Washington state. I've seen a lot of other cool stuff. spent a LOT of time around elk and deer and all kinds of other animals, but no bears that I can recall.

I don't know where you are but Green Mountain out in Kitsap County i guess has lots of bears. I have been told there is one that goes 400+ lbs near the Gold Creek Trailhead.
