We will probably take a trip to the Packwood sale Saturday and plan on head up Sat. evening or early Sunday.  Haven't decided if want to drag the the trailer up again.  Last time up, located an area off the 7000 that wanted to spend some time on.  Don't have a good game plan :dunno:

Well, while I was sticking a styrofoam bear on "B course" at the WSTR, a bear walked past my trail camera Saturday night...
I saw nothing last night, gonna give it a shot this afternoon, and the next 2 mornings, and hope......
seems to be slowing down in my little creek bottom.
I did see a Poplar Tree on my way to my parking space that had been bent over and ALL the leaves gone... :dunno: Guess they are moving off the grass.  :dunno:

Made it up Saturday for the day.  Found 1 new peel in the sw unit.  No recent sign in the areas hunted earlier in the season.  They're playing hard to get :dunno:  Spring season might be over for me.  Work duties probably won't allow me a trip the last weekend.  Besides I need to start saving for a Wyoming elk hunt.  Good luck to everyone still out there.

I went to "my spot" yesterday, no new sign either, but for some reason my camera is not working,  :bash:  :dunno:
So I don't know if one had been through there, I sat there from 5:00AM until 8:30 PM, a couple deer and a rabbit, nothing else...
They seem to have moved out of my area also..Perhaps they are out looking for fawns now ?  :dunno:

i am sure they are looking for fawns now come august there will be a few less looking for fawns when they come into the fawn distress :tup: those bears that have snaked on a fawn or 2 are pretty keyed on to that sound and it works very well and right now should be great but we don;'t have a spring season or it would work even better

I think it is still a bit early to say they are on fawns. Not that they wouldn't take one, but I think most are still on greens. Last week I saw a ton of sign in the skunk cabbage and salmon berries.

I did find a recent peel finally.
I killed a bear under this exact tree about 3 years ago. There had been a ton of peeling in years prior but after killing the bear there had not been any peels. Looks like another peeler has moved in.

Did I read that right? You sat in one spot for 15 1/2 hours?   :yike:   No way could I do that. 1 1/2 hours is pushing it.   :chuckle:

:yeah:
First time I had ever managed it myself, I had done it once before (this season) for 12 hours, but my trail camera has shown a bear walking along that trail on a few Saturdays since the season opened (
 Monday, wednesday, and a Sunday once, but 3 SAturdays.  :dunno:
I have a "Beast Hunter" game on my GPS I am getting good at, and brought a book,
I have a jumble of logs to sit in, so from my head down I am concealed, and brought my little blind chair with me..

 I figure now that the season is almost over, all I need to do is wait at that spot, and sometime in the next week one will walk up that trail.
3 different bears have walked past my camera since the 15th of April, at least one a week, unfortunately the only time that has repeated is around noon and Saturday, so I will definitely try again next Saturday, but I need to get a "Thermacell", the mosquitoes are getting bad!

They are on fawns. Found some "bear POO" with hair and bones and thought it was strange. It was very large for a coyote. (should of took a picture) Found some real fresh peels. first ones in 2 weeks.Then I came across this.

you live and die by the dot on the sign not what the map says they change those dots often and it is a
$550  ticket if you are caught behind that red dot driving around even if the gate is open.
