Title: Sasquatch Poop or one sick bear....
Post by: ICEMAN on November 18, 2007, 06:04:40 AM: During the 2007 Elk hunt, I came across an area covered with Sasquatch poop, lot's of it. In the Lewis River Unit, about 3500' elevation, blueberry bushes everywhere.....

This particular animal loved to crap in the same place. Lots of loads in the general area, but dozens on the same mound. Upon hand and nose inspection of the most recent load, looked to be mostly berry and berry leaves. This dude had the blueberryquickstep!

I am thinking I need to bear hunt this area next bear opener!

Any advice out there, or other thoughts.....?

I would look for other (early) food sources that the bears will key on until the berries are ripe.

The first smells like Berries with bits of squirrel fur.

The second smells like Pepper Spray and has little bells in it.

Stay away from the berry pickers and the roads, and do a lot of glassing. In some areas the berry's are early, like the first part of aug. if you can find those early patches, you'll find bear.
