hopefully they will bring hound hunting back for them because there is so many of them now.

I saw the news story last night.  Seems like EVERY single time there is a bear story it's automatically called out as a "300 lb bear".  That was not a 300 lb bear.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Its going to be crazy this year.    :chuckle:  come on open hounds.....

Yesterday there is 25+ officers working on trap bear off tree. Wow it may cost 5,000 dollar to save one bear.  Geez.....
They may ran out of money and attacking people more often like two people last year.  I am curious this year how bad it will be.    :bdid:

My brother lives on Harrington. His girlfriend was walking to work and saw the bear at the apartments.

They had one in kirkland (if I heard right) and one in issaquah today...
They mentioned that it was a poor berry season last year, hence why they were all over issaquah...
I figured it was because that is where they USED to live and now its all condos, small dogs and garbage cans...berries seemed pretty good to me last year, far as I recall.

Even though I love me hunting/eating some bears...I feel bad for the fellas when they get caught up in town.

That bear hit the ground hard.  He is going to be sore.  They would be better off just euthanizing it and moving on.

Why would you want them to just kill it?

It's because they're overpopulating and moving closer to us - no hounds or bait. We're getting more of them close to Vancouver, too. And, then the idiots feed them, either on purpose or by leaving dog food outside and garbage cans unsecured. It'll take a few children getting hit before the population as a whole realizes the benefit of a properly managed bear and cougar population. Hounds and bait hunting will need to be reinstated for that management.

wish I knew where you were, I hardly saw any, almost no Cascara or huckleberries, did have Blackberries, though not as many as usual in my area.....

On of the things I sell is huckleberries. The crop of mountain hucks was down by at least 50% last year because of the cold spring and summer. It's not looking too good for them again this year if things don't warm up pretty fast.

A black bear was spotted Wednesday in the parking lot of Northshore Jr. High School in Bothell.

Now, two schools, Northshore and Woodmoor Elementary, are in lockdown. Leanna Albrecht, with the Northshore School District, says students are free to walk around inside the school, but can't go outside.

This is a developing story.

I was on the west side...issaquah/monroe...I could've been wrong...I just dont recall (west side) it being too bad last year.

However, I ususally predator call, not relying too much on berries for bears.
