Well ? I might be going on a road trip.
-
More then likely somewhere in gmu 460 or 448.
-
Been seeing any bear sign in those areas ?
-
ill be on base. most likely ta 4
-
To be honest I haven't been up in those areas in awhile so I don't know about the sign. But I know the areas pretty good and know they hold bear. The places I've been scouting lately don't open until the 15th. I'm going to go check my spots for fresh sign this weekend.

I met Predator Pro last year in Wenatchee. I went out in the morning up near Leavenworthless ( he was working ) and we went out in the evening. Nothing. We tried calling them with no luck. Westside might be better near the top of the Cascades..... :dunno:

Because of the heat, I'll be going to areas that are near roads so I can drag them out quickly and get the skin off. Then go buy a some bags of ice.

I was born without patience :chuckle:

That's why you get 2 tags. No patience for the first tag, if its a bear usually its down. First tag is a meat tag second is for the trophy. That's when my patience kick in.

Headed out for my first bear season. I am way north here in the 418 (Nooksack). Lots of bear up here. Have a couple spots picked out to sit on while its warm. Probally going higher as the season goes along via the use of some trails.
-
I was surprised it took 3 pages before this tread went to c-post.
-
And it wasnt me!
-
I thought about it back on page two but i wanted to see how long it would take.
-
Anybody shot bears up Bacon Creek in the 418 unit ? Always heard that was a pretty good area. I hunted up there 30 years ago and haven't been back since.

Campmeat if you do watch the fishing seasons. It can either be a ghost town or packed house ;)

I hauled wood chips out of the mill in Birdsview if it's still there ? You must be talking about the store/gas station ?

I figured you were busy with the Sanctuary and all. :chuckle:
-
I couldn't take it any longer i took Wednesday off.
-
Just a reminder: some So. WA units don't open until the 15th.
-
Good point. Double check your regs folks.
-
You guys and your regs.

That is not a bad thing ...They will start getting big and fat and the hides will be getting nice and prime :dunno: :tup:
-
this is kinda funny ...should I take wednesday off or should'nt I .. I never used to miss opening day of bear when I used to get excited about it ...So I see where your coming from ...but there is a huge diffence in how many more bears I can find in September than I can find in August ...those 1st 15 days in September are prime time and this year may be a very good blueberry year....I have been walking a little trying to get in shape so I can hit some of my top spots ..Last time I was in there we packed the camera and everything we needed and that was a job ...So I will be a little more prepared this go around ....Good luck everyone and hope to see a few hit the dirt ..... :tup: :tup:

But, like past cougar restrictions, delaying the opener in most of these GMUs is contraindicated by population estimates. Most GMUs in So. WA are at or above carrying capacity for black bear.

Well.......speaking about C-post.
While I was in Vegas on Wednesday my Uncle took my dog for a little walk up there. He said that she started barking a ton at something in the thick brush :chuckle: :o True story. He never saw what it was.
-
Any of you have info on unit 426 Diablo ? Is it mostly if not all roadless. I'm really thinking about the Rockport/Marblemount and Darrington areas. I've been all over those areas years ago, but I don't keep up on those units for hunting any more. I'm gonna leave Wednesday morning and stay at the motel in Rockport for a few days. ( I think )
-
Gonna be heading out from crystal mountain to hunt east of the pac. crest trail in the cheese unit. Anyone ever had any sucess up there? Ive been up scouting/hiking a couple of times, didnt see any bear but I know they are around.
-
I'll be up in the Snoq Hancock in the early AM.
Hopefully I won't get smoked by the *censored* running the big white Kenworth flying down to the gate.
-
Fished up on the Skagit in early June and saw some good sign just above Bacon Creek.
Plenty of eagle rafters to keep them fat and happy. :tup:
The new 7mm is rarrin' to go!
But not until friday evening. :'(
Best of luck
