Title: Tree stand for Western Washingtn
Post by: J-Bone on July 01, 2025, 11:12:18 AM
Curious if anyone has just hung up a stand near well trafficked bear areas and waited for them to show up (not hunting over bait). I was thinking about doing that this year particularly in early august and early mornings near known areas. Any comments on the viability of this strategy? Normally i just spot and stalk...

It works if you have a good food area.

If you can handle the boredom, I would think you will need a reliable food source such an apple trees, not sure I would bother with Blacktail berries unless there was a good view point that covered a lot of ground to see one.
