Title: Heading out for Bear Opener with ol' SG
Post by: Smossy on July 31, 2014, 10:07:27 AM
Gonna see if me and the lady can get our hands on a bear this weekend  :dunno:
Managed to pick up a nice predator call off bearmanrick last weekend at the HW bbq, Always good to see him...
Anyone who's chased bear have any last minute advice or techniques?

Ive never managed to stick anything yet and hopefully my first bloody arrow will be from teddy.
 :hello:

I do. Don't chase these..... (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi193.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fz16%2Fgyonemura%2F70c2e4da9f711ebef533aef7c4149d13_zpsb91f355a.jpg&hash=f48507f4eaa6d7750f778ac5cf96dce18a71e725) (http://s193.photobucket.com/user/gyonemura/media/70c2e4da9f711ebef533aef7c4149d13_zpsb91f355a.jpg.html)

They chase back.

Good luck. Play the wind and look for food and shade.

As a novice bear hunter...I might leave the calls at home since you're without any firearms.  Those situations can get hairy

Find food smossy and sit and wait.  Bears are loud while eating in Clearcuts a lot of times I hear them before I see them.

If you can, give it a few moments to make sure a sow is without cubs or vice versa. Good Luck  :tup:

Work the hucks early in the AM from the bottom of the hill and late in the PM from the top. Glass is your friend.

Cover SG in rabbit scent and blow the hell outta that call if all else fails. Tell her to flip that pony tail once in a while for effect.

No bear or even any sign. Top of that found out its one of the worst bear units lol.. wish i would have known that  earlier. Gonna do some coastal hunting next weekend..

Heres irony at its finest though. Searched and search mile after mile.. to no avail, Then last night driving home from work I almost hit a good 200 plus bar walking across our road by the house. Not sure if I was more mad about the the lack of sign in grade a looking territory or more mad that I didnt have my bow with me....

Only help I can offer is that I have spooked many while elk hunting midday in the dark timber.  The thick cool creek drainages and also they seem to like Oregon grapes if you run across that.  At least I think it was Oregon grape! :chuckle: Best thing you can do is go east. We are 2 for 2 so far and see/hear bear every other day it seems.

Don't hit the bar. It's alot more fun to pull up a stool, have a drink and lean against it.  :chuckle:

I've seen the SUV.....go ahead and hit it. Don't think you can do much more damage.

Bear* and it was in my cadillac. I would have destroyed that bear. Had a nice glossy jet black coat to..
