Title: Skagit spring bear.
Post by: X-Force on April 10, 2021, 06:59:37 PM: I didn’t draw but have a family member who did. I know it’s not a tag worth drawing...

Any scuttle butt on access, on how many people can come in with you, etc?

Some bear sign, no peels. Put on 3 miles. Great time with my nephews.

Post by: X-Force on June 06, 2021, 08:30:38 PM: We were out for dawn until dusk yesterday and 5 hours this morning with 0 bears. I was super surprised.

Covered lots of country, walked roads, found peels, waved to game cameras, glassed. It’s getting down to crunch time.

Probably doesn’t help hunting with 2-4 kids :chuckle: but it has been a blast.

Ran into 1 bear peeling about 30 yards off the road but couldn’t see it through the thick stuff, called and it went silent. Saw a bear at last light, right after the kids exploded out of the truck, the bear was already finding new country by the time we realized what it was.

Great season with daughters nephews and friends. Lots of wildlife, hiking and memories.
