Title: Peels
Post by: jason4429 on May 06, 2020, 10:23:25 AM: I was out all day yesterday. I didn’t see any fresh peels. I was wondering if any west side bear hunters found any?

That’s the same as where I have hunted in the past. I’m hunting in a different unit this time and was just curious if it was different by area. I drew a mason unit tag. I haven’t hunted this area before . I’m just getting familiar with the area.

Locations are miles apart, but both are chronic damage areas with old trunk scarring, dead trees from 2 or more years ago, and bright reddish orange stressed trees that were worked over last spring.
