Crappy thing is there is a sow Ive seen here several times over the last few years that is pretty good size (around 150 to mabe 200) and Im hoping this isnt from her. I found a small alder tree about 400 yards away that was right beside the road and looked like a small animal had clawed its way up it, maybe a cub?. Anyway, I had a productive day of scouting and Im thinking I know where Im going to hunt August 1st.

Im sure there is more than one in the area. Good luck getting on them this year!
I can almost guarantee there is more than one in the area. There has been multiple times I have seen 2 different adult bears in that area the same day and one time I saw 3.

I would dump that sow if I seen her at that size.Gotta be a good sized bear to pass a bottle that size...Good luck
:chuckle:
Im not too picky about whether its a sow or not but everytime I've seen that sow, shes had cubs.

Jesse - Have you checked the highside of the road just over the bridge (before the cut where Keith arrowed that one) from the hiway side? There seems to always be bears in there this time of year...or maybe more towards Sept. :dunno:
I havent looked too much around there, they are doing alot of active logging right now around that area so I'm not sure how bad it will scare them off. Ive had people tell me that doesnt scare them off hardly at all and they've caught them licking grease off the machines when they get to work in the morning. :dunno: I did drive by where your talking about yesterday but didnt see any noticable bear tracks on those banks. Lots of normal elk and deer tracks though. I bet when the blackberries and the cascara get ripe there will be plenty of sign.

Its quite different here. Very wet and brushy in places which seems like heaven for the bears around here.
