Really stoked.. Can't get in to Kapowsin until the 15th.. The gun is ready and sighted in just gonna drop some new batteries in my GPS and Rangefinder and i'll be good to go.

Seriously hoping this warm weather has gotten the animals up and around and some greenery starting to sprout on the south slopes..

Banner year? Let's hope so...

Lookin forward to some cool hunt recaps with pictures

Already have my gear packed and double checking everything tonight after work.  Although I still need to find a butcher near puyallup.  Anyone recommend someone who is decent and ok on pricing?  I've seen a post about someone near olympia...anyone use them yet?

Filled the trailer with food and water. Loaded the motorcycle on the trailer and wired trailer brakes for the truck.  :chuckle: Here I come Bear,Turkey,Coyote,and Fish

Truck is outfitted, rifle is sighted in (not that it needed any changes), sadly... I have to wait until the 16th to start due to that four letter word that pays the bills..WORK   

See ya in the brush!

Spent then whole day scouting at rayonior in copalis.  Spotted one little pile of poo and that was it.  No other signs of bear from what I could see.  They definitely need to open it up for baiting.  Holy cow I don't know how anyone pulls a bear out of there but I will remain optimistic
