I know this isn't that great of news for most of you hunter's but I got to see my first black bear yesterday!!! I have been bow hunting for 3 years and have been in the woods almost all my life but never saw a bear until yesterday. I was in the woods outside of enumclaw on a sunday drive and there on the side of the road was my first black bear sighting. It looked to be about 300 to 350 lbs very black with a tan snout(sp?). I also got to see 4 deer and got within 15 yrd from a buck with little nubs. I had a fun little sunday cruise and thought I would share.

Congrats!
As you see more bears you will probably realize that the first one was actually only 200 lbs LOL  Just kidding....
funkster:
ha ha ha... that was a good one!! I have been doing alot of research on bear sizes and how to judge them. I got to look at him for a good few minutes and I think I'am pretty close. I wish I would have taken along the camera but didn't really think I was gonna see anything. Come August I'am very stoked about going bear hunting and hoping to get some action with calling.

Are you having any success with your spring bear tag??
Machias:
Hey I was driving through Enumclaw yesterday as well, leaving the WA SAR conference.  Any chance you where there as well?
billythekidrock:
No luck yet. Saw a cub the other day and we had a bear stand up then leave when calling. I didn't see it, but my buddy did. He just couldn't get a shot.

Where are you planning on hunting come August?
