Title: trying to find a general area
Post by: zackmioli on June 08, 2009, 08:38:45 AM: i am trying to find a decent area to go bear hunting in august. just trying to get any advice on a general area to go wander around in. the last couple weekends ive gone hiking but havent seen much bear sign. i was in the pack forest and just above greenwater. any bear info on those places? another place i was thinkin of going is the packwood area.

any push in any direction is helpful...i think. :chuckle:
