Title: Bear hunting in the (snoqualmie) hancock.
Post by: elkaddict652 on July 29, 2014, 12:50:43 PM: So due to my busy work schedule and a new baby i have yet to even set foot in the Hancock. Plan on heading up there opening weekend to try and get a bear and just wondering if anybody's been up in there and what they have seen. Not looking for anything specific just kind of a general idea. Thanks in advance and anything is appreciated.

Wish I had some good info for ya.

I've seen some bear pooh on a few of the older/grown over roads, but no sightings of any bears ... Good luck out there! I'll be doing some deer hunting out there for the gen rifle season..

Lots of bears
:yeah: they're everywhere in there. From spur 10 on over to cedar ponds. Do you have a vehicle permit or walk in?

Post by: jordanwlee on August 28, 2014, 12:42:04 AM: I've hunted there. Saw an elk and deer. No sign of bear. I was south of 410. Biked 5 miles in and up mountains. Not much berries or open areas that I could see or glass. I might go back someday but not my first choice for bear

Wrong Hancock. They are talking Snoqualmie. If your on 410 that is the white river Forest Hancock.

Post by: Rakkasan00 on August 30, 2014, 09:59:12 PM: Been there at least two dozen times since March. Mostly full days scouting, fishing, hunting. Saw 1 running away at full speed when I rounded a bend on a logging road. Not buying the "tons if bears" stories. See scat now and then but for the amount of roads I've covered and times I've been there, I would think I would've seen more Bears. I've seen more dead Mylar balloons than Bears lol
