Problem solved.

Also, welcome to the site, but should contribute just a bit before asking for holes.

Happy Hunting.~

Go look at his threads, he's wacked a bunch of them.

Saylean is not bs-ing you, get up to where the berries are ripe this time of year. That will improve your odds.

The animals are usually solitary and spending good time in the field to understand them and to get lucky running across one helps. I got a tip that there was a bear hanging around the high slopes of Finney Peak this summer. Who knows if he moved on but it's all I got for ya.

Oh on a sidenote don't bump into a Cub like I did on Sat and have a Sow come charging at me and didn't stop until she was 20' away. I had to fire a warning shot to get her to stop. :yike:

Sounds about right. Hard work and persistence. I'm sure you'll bring home a nice one. Good luck.

Anyhow there are a lot of animals up in your neck of the woods. It just takes sometime finding out where their hiding.

And no..these guys aren't BS'ing you.
You're within a 20 minute drive of a half-dozen (or more) great areas that hold bear and are easily accessible. Just take a look at some maps, burn up a tank of gas, and wear out some shoe leather.

You'll have best luck if you find the berries...and get a little ways from the heavily pressured areas...and leave the truck behind.

Good luck!

Anyone willing to through me a bone via PM on a different road to check out off HWY2?

Post by: jkononen on October 01, 2008, 02:06:46 PM: drive, go for a hike, get high up on them hills, find some berries, glass, shoot, pack. seen 7 bears with my brother and his buddy last friday, 8 goats, and one deer. I shot a bear, about 150 lbs. pictures are on my brothers old camera the has film, not digital. so i probably won't get them until after he takes more pictures of dead stuff.

then my brothers buddy went the next day, a different spot, but did the same thing and seen 11 bears, and more goats.

Post by: Trophy Hunter on October 01, 2008, 02:18:27 PM: Like i had posted last week they are simply OVER POPULATED.
more bear then deer this year. I hope everyone fills two tags on the wesr side or at least one and one.

Sounds like you live in one of the best units for bear, find berries.
