I should have just followed him.  I'm sure he knew where one was.

You are not allowed to hunt Bears over bait!   :chuckle:

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Went out to Hancock yesterday saw two, 1st one about 50 yards away , he saw me and bolted no shot dang, dang. About two hours later jumped another one, he was standing in an over grown roadway,,, Got of one shot and watched as he bounded away un hurt. Learned a valuable lesson, those four foot tall alder saplings in the middle of an over grown road really mess up the flight of a bullet. Wont make THAT mistake again. Giving that area a couple of day break then I'll be back at em"

we bumped into each other im pretty sure. if you were driving a jeep. im pretty surprized you saw two bears in one day up there, nice. i also think i know what road you were on with the second  ;)

almost hit one with the truck! Ran right in front of me about 30 yards in front. I pulled over to see where he went but he was gone >:(

i don't know how you guys see bears from the truck up there. i practically live up there ( at least 3-4 times a week in off season) and Ive seen exactly one on the road. Ive gotta hike to find the bears i guess

Saw about 30 elk today... got some crappy pics with my point and shoot but thru the rain at 500 yards the pics suck!  Watched them thru my spotting scope for an hour.  Some bulls that had shed... could see the nobs through my spotting scope.  Might have to hike down there to the bottom this weekend and do some shed hunting!  Only bear I saw was through the spotting scope on cut above me... 1000+ yards and gone in no time,  feeding its way through the cut.

Went out on an evening hunt in the north skagit tonight and while driving up the road we came around a corner and about 20 yards away on an old drag road we saw what looked to be a 150 pound plus cinnamon bear. We drove by and walked back but of course he was gone. :'(

I would rather see one when I was hiking.  I've seen 2 bears so far this season and both times I was in my truck.  I never had a chance to shoot one atleast if you see one hiking you might get a shot.  Bears dont seem to stay in the road long when a truck is coming
