Tons of cnf, iep always has bear.
East side of the unit has more bear I think overall, but all of it has bear!
Dang shame to let a tag goto waste, locals like me with 4-5 points woulda loved to have that tag coulda filled it numerous times already

I'm sure Ghost does have a tag in his pocket and will put it to use this fall. Since this is KF's back yard he sees a few bears when he is about, but just because there was a bear in this cut today doesn't mean it's there tomorrow.
I could out this tag to use also. :IBCOOL:

I would help You if I had some info for that area.
Some of the stuff people said is very helpful. The bear peals for example.
Change your approach and I'm sure You will get some help.

Never asked for detailed info or anybody's honey hole. I just don't get why you guy's would waste your time with useless smart a$$ comments. You would think if someone drew a spring tag and didn't know the unit you would want to help. Not say things like "bears are out and dying" or "it's a shame that tag is going to waste" access has been closed he has a job and I was just hoping for a starting point since the unit is new for him and he doesn't have to waste a lot of time trying to learn the road system and such. I guess I asked for too much. I know it's all about putting your time in and being at the right place at the right time, but circumstances don't really allow that this time. You others that chimed in could have left your 2 cents to your selves in my opinion. Apparently ghost doesn't have a spring tag or he wouldn't have said he didn't draw with 4 points or whatever...I wasn't talking about fall tags.
There's not a single comment on here like that, except yours, but you won't get it because you don't hunt bear, so you won't understand the advice you got was sound.
105 has bear everywhere, there's not a single sq mile that doesn't have a fresh bear track.
It's been a wet spring so water and green grass is everywhere. The bear are scattered, so you find them by going to the unit and glassing, looking for sign and being at the right place at the right time and not getting busted
I'm convinced most novice bear hunters getting frustrated at not seeing bear.... is because they're getting busted.
With so much green, I'd focus on finding fresh bear tracks and bleating, they've ate a lot of salad and will be wanting some meat. They're tipping logs and rocks, can't tell you how many fresh rolled logs I've been seeing.

You didn't approach it wrong. Ghost Hunter was being a smart ass and and those that defended his arrogance and questioned you on an obvious observation are the reason this forum died years ago.I think that's a bit unfair.

Bears are dieing means get out there ASAP, tags are getting filled. Bear are out and about. The hunting is good is all that means. Getting a non “sarcastic” remark from a ne wa resident is asking a lot if your not a friend. Some translation may be needed.
Throw a dart at the map, make sure it’s public land and go glass some bears. 4x4 may be needed depending on weather

Less internet. More scouting. Problem solved.
But seriously, those NE guys need to work on their friendship skills. One of them only got up at 3 am to drive 80 miles to help me drag out my first deer. Oh, and make me breakfast.

Please tell the people following this is he over here chasing or because you really didn't get Intel he has given up?
Post by: Dan-o on June 04, 2020, 07:03:23 PM
Over the years, I have drawn several tags for units I was unfamiliar with.
Without exception, I got terrific help from Hunt Wa.
I have also given lots of good info over those years.
It does matter how you approach people.
Post by: 270 on June 04, 2020, 07:51:45 PM
Ridgeratt- why did you request this?
Dan-o- I'm still trying to figure out how I approached wrong? I asked very nicely, I didn't ask for a someone's honey hole, and I got a couple dumb ass vague comments(the first two)they got better after that. I guess I don't get there humor maybe, I just didn't find it very funny...
Post by: Skillet on June 04, 2020, 08:12:55 PM
Ridgeratt- he is over there chasing bears as we speak and the funny thing is he saw one this morning right where a not so difficult member on here pm'd me specific Intel that put him in a great area Apparently. Not saying that's what I asked for or he had to do that but, it was really nice of him because it's a spring tag and not his every day bear unit so he figured what the heck which was super cool.Do you think you deserved more than vague info salted with humor for your request? I think you had expectations that differed from what you originally asked for:

A buddy drew Kelly hill spring bear. He doesn't know the unit at all. If anybody is willing to share any info, tips or a good starting point that would be much appreciated! Thanks
The following posts, while given in the completely normal toungue-in-cheek humor common on this board, were exactly what you asked for. But not what you wanted?
Apparently you didn't like the humor aspect, so ignored the nuggets of info you were given on the open forum. Not only that, you came back to chastise them for not helping.
People are, truly, overly helpful on this board. But your approach here didn't help. :twocents:

Post by: Skillet on June 04, 2020, 09:36:27 PM
Yeah, later some nuggets of good info came which I didn't ignore. Apparently being a dick is is just written off as humor on here. Then he tells me I'm not a bear hunter when he doesn't even know that I've actually done a lot of bear hunting.
Based on your original post, I didn't think you had ever bear hunted either. To a brand-new bear hunter, those first few posts would have been valuable. And were exactly what you asked for. Had you said "I got the basics down, looking for more specific information," things might have transpired differently.
It seems you aren't understanding where you went a little off track, in spite of several folks pointing it it to you. Such is life.
Good luck to your buddy, hope he gets one. :tup:

I thought it was funny. Did Ghost Hunter come back and say you were being a dick like you've accused him of being for joking around? I must have missed that.
