Post by: highcountry_hunter on May 17, 2020, 09:31:53 PM: Glad your getting into some bears! I saw a toad of a black bear right near the intersection of Gilmore road and Bridgeman-Rettinger about 2 weeks ago on the north side of that intersection. It’s orivate but ya never know, might be able to get permission and try to call something out of that swamp or the timbered knoll

Post by: KFhunter on May 17, 2020, 10:21:53 PM: I seen that one a time or two, nice bear for sure, that boar owns that whole area.

Title: Re: Heading to Kelly hill.
Post by: Ridgeratt on May 18, 2020, 03:33:30 PM: North Pot?
I think you used to be able to get the permit at the bear lodge south of Northport.

I thought northport sold them. The next closest looks like deer park to me. Does Colville sell the IEP permits?

Post by: bosshogg112 on May 18, 2020, 04:02:32 PM: IEP passes in Northport are at Morning Bear Coffee 320 Center Ave Ste A

Deer Park, Levi's Mini Market W 109 4th St

Hope this helps.
