They need the extra money to clean up the trash the Brush Pickers leave laying everywhere.

Post by: Wea300mag on March 31, 2010, 04:41:26 PM: I struck out again this year on the draw, at least I'm consistent. I'll just have to hunt harder this fall to make up.

Title: Re: spring bear results
Post by: Ray on April 04, 2010, 11:18:18 AM: Ok I didn't come outright and say it but I did draw the North Skagit spring bear hunt. I have been reluctant to say anything because I am always afraid I might come home with "tag soup". I guess I'll be a man admit that I will be hunting and hope I can knock one down. Next weekend I am coming up for some more scouting. A couple of summers ago I have traveled into this unit for bear hunting but was unable to connect on anything but a coyote. If someone who knows the area well, wants to waste their time and would enjoy tagging along that's fine by me. Otherwise I am also ok hunting alone as usual.

The reason for my reserved attitude is that I have not tried to hunt bears for the most part in anything but at or around the treeline where it's much easier to see them from a distance. Especially when I can watch the berry patches where all the berries are ripe. Therefore I view this spring bear hunt as more of a challenge because it appears on the maps that most of the land is below the treeline and the situation is much different than what I am accustomed to. However there do seem to be some clear cuts which I can take advantage of and I'll be paying attention to the greens (grass and skunk cabbage).

I have not received any information from the timber company but if they are charging a fee or deposit for the key I plan on paying that. If it is not a deposit but instead a fee I will not put in for this unit again.

I hope you guys all knock down some brutes. Good luck. Let's get on with this thing.

Look me up at the WSR, I will be at that also. I am thinking about taking Curt Brisky's self bow seminar.
