I scouted a lowland area yesterday that a local told me has been full of bears the last few seasons. It's a mix a reprod, clearcuts, powerline on the outskirts of a small town. None of the berries were ripe yet so I got down low into the swamps and walked the drainage looking at the grasses and skunk cabbage. Still I couldn't find any sign. I know it was only day one but I imagined I would have came upon a peel, pile of crap, or a track. Any advice? :)

haha I'll show you some sign tomorrow when we check the cams!

Just keep hunt'n. The more I read and the more I walk, look, and listen the closer I feel I am getting. Sounds like you have some good area.
-
you answered your own question...
"the berries werent ripe yet"....
Wait till these are ripe and you should see more.
Keep at it. Sounds like a good place.

Yeah three or four would be nice...... :chuckle:

Just hunt ethically and know what your shooting. I already know 1 guy who shot a momma bear to 2 cubs.

We passed a sow out near Shelton with cub and a 100 pounder in a canyon already.
The bears are there.
I agree just be sure its not with cubs
-
what do you think two weeks for the berries??
-
If the weather man is right, and with the rain we are having if the heat comes on later this week like they say, I think the berries are gonna go into hyperdrive, and soon. I know that the salmon berries are in full swing up high from what I saw this last weekend. :twocents:

That's why they call it HUNTING. Part of the enjoyment is the chase and being out in the field.
