Found this pile of scat and it had seeds in it which almost looks like walnuts.but it was around blackberrys. I found it in a training area while walking to the training area I was going to hunt.what made this.my guess is a bear but the seeds idk.

So after following the trails on the map that fort Lewis outdoor center gave me,I finally after 2 hours of taking trails that lead me to the wrong area I finally get to the clear cut I was looking for.used my call for about 30 min and saw nothing. Once again fort Lewis has set me up for failure

Bear. The seeds are probably from cascara berries.

I put in the FootworkI find the bear food the berry I find the water holeI use my call I put more footwork just getting nowhere.Plus I am also scouting for deer while bear hunting so when the season starts I know where to get a deer at and I haven't seen one of those yet either

I am no expert, but calling for a half hour isn't usually enough most guys on here that are better bear hunters than me say that you should call better than an hour for bears. I hear the consistency is also very important. There is a great bear hunting thread on the site with all kinds of useful info from guys who put bears down regularly.

Don't get discouraged. I e hunted the base for over 25 years and only seen 2 bears. If you want to see bears on the base don't buy a tag . :twocents:

I'd reccomend trying to get on HOT sign before bear calling. This as a minimum, better to have a bear in sight before calling.
They don't come into calls quickly and you have to call constantly or they lose interest.
