Title: Tucannon last attempt
Post by: Ghost Hunter on May 21, 2015, 03:57:29 PM: Off work and on the way to compete with the masses. Going to try and find a quiet corner of a dry camp. Hoping for an uneventful trip and at least see a bear. Sounds like some flash floods in the area? Got to fill at least one of the tags in this unit.

Post by: Timberstalker on May 21, 2015, 05:02:40 PM: You're gonna have a helluva a hunt. I would hunt hard after the storm moves through this evening. I guarantee you will see bears after this storm! You've got a killer tag! 1 of 5.

PM me if you want a few tips. I've got a few bears that need thinned. :tup:

Title: Re: Tucannon last attempt
Post by: Ghost Hunter on May 23, 2015, 01:50:12 PM: Still no sign of any kind for bear. Deer, elk, bunnies, grouse, and ticks.
Title: Re: Tucannon last attempt
Post by: Woodchuck on May 23, 2015, 01:59:36 PM: Maybe down lower, closer to the river?
Title: Re: Tucannon last attempt
Post by: Ghost Hunter on May 23, 2015, 03:15:03 PM: Yup, might have to take the trailer down the grade.
Title: Re: Tucannon last attempt
Post by: Woodchuck on May 23, 2015, 03:25:44 PM: From where you are, if you head down straight past the monument, about 2/3 down, there is a pulloff to the left at the head of a big canyon. Saw lots of sign in that canyon last fall. :dunno:

Post by: zike on May 23, 2015, 09:25:07 PM: The east side of the area was full of campers and ATV's. The Spinner's ATV club out of Pomeroy was having a rally this weekend. Any bears were headed for the hills. There was more camper's there today then during elk season. Kids of all ages racing around on atv's and dirt bikes, not quiet weekend I was looking for. Did get a nice mess of morels and packed up and went home.

Post by: Ghost Hunter on May 25, 2015, 12:17:12 PM: Struck out. Fresh tracks on Sunday 3 1\2 miles up Cummins Cr. Followed for 1 1\2 miles. Looked like a sow and yearling. Only sign I seen in both trips. May have to take spring bear off the bucket list. If Tucannon is a walk in the park, I'll leave the Blue's for the kids to play in. Might of missed my window by 20 or so years.

Post by: Ghost Hunter on June 14, 2015, 08:43:32 PM: Just finished filling out my hunters report. I want to thank everyone who provided information, made suggestions, and helped when I was down. I never fired a shot or notched a tag, but I did meet good people every step of the way. Thanks to all. GH

Post by: 300winmag on July 16, 2015, 07:41:43 PM: when you or over there for bear do you ever walk up the road just above the store it would be the road to the left as you head up the river right before you cross the first bridge . There is a apple orchard just up the road on the right hand side that always has bear in it during deer season .

I'll keep that in mind for a fall season. Think I'm spread a little thin this year.
