Title: Bremerton, Wa
Post by: jtrammell on September 11, 2014, 09:47:20 PM: I hunted there a few times for bear this year. I've seen some sign and some deer. I was wondering if anyone else hunts out there or lives out there. I was off Tiger Mission Road. I'm just wondering if it's worth the drive out there or am I wasting my time. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Lots of land on the northern end, I think Pope Resources still own it, but not sure? Been a few years since I lived there, someone on here, I'm sure has some more up to date info. Good Luck.

I also live on the old Belfair hwy and my property borders all that pope land but it's a long ways from the people coming in those gates.

Thanks everyone for the input. As far as deer, I have another spot for deer. Thanks for the heads up though!

Post by: mrstorms on September 20, 2014, 07:51:21 PM: Sorry for jumping in on this post but i noticed that green and gold mountain was mentioned as a nice place for beer and i have also been told its alright for deer. My question is where would i park? I know that there is a spot on holly rd that i need a vehicle pass to park there and it is also a starting point for a hiking trail. Is that the right area or am i off by a long shot?
