First legal bear is getting shot.  I'll save the second tag for a bigger bear.  I've never been to much of a trophy hunter more of a meat hunter, but if a trophy walks out on front of me you bet I'll shoot it.

First legal bear will go to my son. He's never killed a bear so he's looking forward to his first. Anbody seen how the berries are doing up high? I'll wait for a bigger one.

It's got to be at least 300 lbs+ and a nice coat for me to launch an arrow at it.  I dont like the meat (donate it) and only want to shoot one for a nice mount.  You guys can have the dinks.

Salmon berries are in (at least around upper snoqualmie)...huckles are coming in..depending..and some wild (small vine like) black berries....

My little bro has seen bear sign with berries in it the last several days in the hills outside of Mt Vernon, Burlington...

I dont think the normal black berries are quite in yet though...

You can get two of them, no need to be picky on the first. Voted accordingly.

It better be big and brown or I won't shoot.

Anything over 150 lbs I'll shoot.  So I am waiting for a medium bear.
:yeah:
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
