" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Good luck to all who are heading out today.  Hope to see the pictures next week!
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Good luck everybody. We should have started a gentleman's bet thread on who would tag out first who would get the biggest and who would get the smallest.

I'm thinking about heading out tomorrow afternoon. I have never actually focused on bear, but I will be walking into an area I have been told there are bear and Cougar. Any tips....should I just walk as far as I can, call a bit....? Thanks.

Went this morning behind the house into the coastal woods by my house.. No bears, but quite a few silly does.. We'll see what happens later tonight.

Use fawn distress calls, watch the wind and set up where you can see your flanks, stay with each set up for about 30-50 minutes (depending on terrain, size of tract, etc).  They will be hitting the Oregon Grape, skunk cabbage roots, old stumps, rock fields, etc. so set up within earshot of these typical feed areas...Good Luck!
