Especially not this guy!
I'll just go ahead and throw out an offer to be a pack mule for when you get your bear. Id like to see how to dress out a bear before I get elbow deep in my own lol.

I would much rather dress a bear than a deer. Easier I think.

They can move around, I've located 9 or 10 different bears in my scouting this year, one spot that held only a few bears last yr is loaded with sign this yr. another spot that I found 20 to 30 peels and no less than 20 piles of scat on a mile of grade last yr is totally vacant this yr. Cover lots of ground and look for obvious sign, they probably are just working a little different area this yr. Dont need to focus so much on actually seeing a bear until season opens, just find the sign so you know where to start :twocents:

Have never truly hunted for bear, bear season has always been a reason to pack a rifle while scouting deer/elk.
:yeah: Except this year I will be taking the time to go after a bear. I have a nice spot that has lots of berries, scat, a few peels, and a bunch of trail cam pics. I plan to pack the foxpro too. Hope to get one this year! Good luck to everyone

h2O that bear is a brute!! A friend of mine posted she was on a "walk" yesterday and ran into a bear....tried to get the coordinates but she declined to offer them up lol...Gonna hit my normal spots this year near Darrington, hopefully this is my yr to get on one! Good luck to everyone this year!
Yep....he is a shooter indeed. He came into the nook and found what he was looking for....a muture sow that had just run off her two cubs. I've got him and her on cam hanging out making what I assume was some sweet bear love. He was fond of eating and grazing on oats and feed plot grasses that I had put down. Another site member...Eldplanko was in the same spot the day before trying to fill a spring tag. The brute hung out for about 5 days or so....I'm planning on going back with my bow and doing some calling....see if he is still around.
Good luck to those as well this coming season...looking forward to some additions to the 2013 bear thread.

Seriously? Wouldn't that be hunting over bait? I could careless what you guys do, but you might want to rethink this comment. :dunno:

Not if you're feeding the deer. That's straight from our retired game wardens mouth. :yike:
