I can't believe you didn't kill one! You deserved to for sure. My bet is you kill something nice in the fall. :tup:

Its now time to fish, rivers should be full of steel and salmon will be right around the corner. Let me know if you wanna hit the river sometime. :tup:

Sorry you didn't get one. :(

Thanks everyone, it was fun keeping this log also. Can someone tell me what the berries are that grow on bushes that look like raspberries? Are they raspberries? If so I didn't know they grew around here. There sure are a lot of them.

Thanks for your help H2O, I hope we can hunt together in the fall. I know where a couple of them live, if they stay in that area. There are a lot of berries in the area so I can't imagine them having to leave for food.

Unbelievable effort.  I'm confident we'll see you with a nice one this fall.

Yup, that makes a guy feel good. This is my longest thread ever. To pay everyone back, in the fall all I'm going to do is post a pic of my bear, no story at all! :chuckle:

DIYARCHERYJUNKIE- I have hunted up around Stevens Pass quite a bit, but this year I'm going to hit some of the spot's I found during the spring hunt. At least early in the season, then I may head up high depending on what happens. You are welcome to hunt with me wherever I go though. We'll keep in touch.
