There are so many bears in there its not even funny. To bad you didn't get a tag RR. It would of been a pretty easy hunt for your first bear.
yes there's a good amount of bears in there but i couldn't disagree more about a "easy" hunt, have you actually hunted bear in there?

Yea I have hunted bears in there. I took my buddy in last year on the spring hunt, and he got a 6' bear. Not big but decent. We went back to the same place on the regular opener and he shot another, this time a sow. My other buddy shot a bear 500 yards from where we killed the other two, the second day of regular, and it was 6'6". I saw 2 bears opening day of modern, two more a couple days later. Only saw 9 bears in there last year but I didn't go in that much. That was just last year.
I wouldn't waste my time trying to call bears. Imho I think it is more effective to use binos.

[/quote]yeah calling bears to within 10 to 30 feet is a waste of time,spotting one a few hundred yrds out and shooting it is much more rewarding,you don't have to worry about the Adrenalin rushing through out your body.or the actual skill and time put in for such an effort being as rewarding as as poking one way out there..besides I like wasting my time.maybe someday I can be a legend in my own mind

A waste as in it is easier to kill a beer if you use binos. I think calling is not as effective as spot and stalk. I'm sure you are using a longbow also since you want it to be so rewarding and to take all this skill?

Lol. I am sure I know 100 times more about hunting bears in Hancock then you do. I can't believe you even posted on this thread. When was the last time you hunted Hancock? The spring hunt is a gimme if you want to kill a bear. You spend a couple of evenings in there in a decent spot and you will see a bear or four.

I can't believe we still allow you to post here...I guess we enjoy watching you make an ass of yourself.
Maybe you know Hankcock better then I do, but having checked the harvest reports and talked to dozens of hunters since the westside spring hunts have started, I can say that unit is not a slam dunk.
It is an easy unit to draw and many people don't hunt it, but yet we only see or hear of a couple bears killed every spring.
100 permits in 2006 and only 2 bears killed.
100 permits in 2007 and only 5 bears killed.
Now it is up to 150 permits and only a few killed a year is not a slam dunk in my book.

I will play...
Do you have a Kapowsin Hancock access permit? (This is an opportunity for you to back out with a good excuse) If you do have one, come with my son and I. You can show us all the bear and you can put us on one. Since there so many we should meet up this Saturday at the Kapowsin gate at 4:30 AM and you can put us on one.
Nothing like throwing down the challenge. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
We will be up there anyway so it will not be a big deal to follow you around in the morning.

That is exactly what I came to do. To ask him to take, or to tell a tag holder where to go. But it is locked and we will never know what he knows.
