I was up Taylor mountain this morning. Decent amount of sign, tons of berries, but no luck. Had one about 20 feet away but the jungle of brush was so thick I couldn't do anything about it or move around somewhere for a better angle.

 
You hunting bear with a .223? Or is that .300BLK?

The other day I was glassing an area from a slash pile when I heard about a 350lb black bear in the berry bushes behind me. My rifle was about 50 yards away in the truck so I didn't know what to do. Didn't have my phone on me to ask hunt wa but luckily it never came out. This was north of highway 12 and east of 18.

Are semi-auto pistols allowed in firearm restricted zones? Also, my only shotgun is a Savage 24c 22lr/20ga over/under, any thoughts on legality of using that as long as I'm not carrying any 22lr rounds?

semi-auto is not legal in restricted gmu's. Your o/u should be legit. Or even a crossbow during modern season.

Good story,  :tup: but you really shouldn't give out my secret spots.  North of Hwy 12 and East of 18 is my favorite hemisphere

and...

hope you don't hit a shoulder.    :yike:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

well you didnt quote anything so i assume you mean my last post, the discussion with the officer. yes he said the numbers and sightings this year have been few and sparse. he said usually they are responding to a ton of calls for them but not this year they seem to have largely migrated either to tiger or into the king county parks boundary.

I just rode a motorcyle down highway 18 myself.  I saw no bears or deer :yike:

Ya know, I drive I-5 to work every single day and I never have seen a bear. There must not be any bears in Snohomish County either!
 :dunno:
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!
