Title: Long Beach Bear Hunt
Post by: Bigjon on March 21, 2018, 06:09:33 PM: Does anyone know if there is any public land or anyone with private property in Long Beach WA where there are Bears. I drew a tag for spring bear there but not sure exactly were I can go. My next bear will be number 30 so this is a special accomplishment for me. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas. Thank you.

684 is mostly private land. check OnX maps. There is some timber company land on the south end of the peninsula.
