Hound hunting around Granite Falls?

[bowman]

I went to check my trail cam today in the Granite Falls area and I was walking a logging road that is closed to motorized vehicles. A truck drove by me and had a hound on the hood of his truck and about 3 or 4 in the bed of his truck. About 5 minutes later another truck drove by and same deal a hound on the hood and few more in the bed. Just wondering is there a pursuit season going on? Or could this be a private timber company taking out some bears?

Bear damage control for the timber co.

Yeah they probably had a depredation permit for bears. Back when I worked in the woods I used to run into those guys all the time at this time of the year.

Not what I wanted to hear.... There are a lot of bears in this area and it's where I hunt in the summer.

Anyways they must not be doing that great of a job haha. Or their dogs suck. I'm not worried.

You could always check with Fish & Wildlife and see if they can tell you if, or how many, depredation permits were issued for this area.

I ran into a Guy last year with hounds.  We talked for about 20 he told me he was the Guy that got that cougar in that Seattle park last year.

Those guys hunting for the timber company's are on a strict quota on how many they can kill. Don't worry they are not going to kill every bear out there. Nothing funner than hunting bears with dogs, I wish this tree huggin lovin state would pull it's head out and let us get back to the way it used to be.
