Title: Who Is Hunting Around Belfair This Year ?
Post by: seansfire on April 28, 2011, 04:46:20 PM: The only area i know around me and the area i have spent alot of time in has been the mountian side of Belfair. Just curious if anyone else is in the same area. Dont want your spot of honey hole , just dont want to be in the way or spoil an area or food plot either so i will stay way clear of it. I focus on the area around Tiger Lake. Tiger Mission Road in the clearcuts and such.

Over the past 2 or 3 years though the pressure has increased due to being close to Bremerton and Silverdale. If your wanting a better hunt with better animals, jump across the canal. If your just wanting an afternoon hunt to get out of the house, then stay on this side. :twocents: :dunno:

You really have to pay attention to who and what is out tramping thru the area, and what they are doing. Had a few stalks ruined do to someone "unknowingly" coming down a trail, or making a racket, or just out being stupid. Once again, only my :twocents:

I always see deer on the hill at the Chimicum cutoff but i have never hunted anywhere over there. I am very new and just learning how to hunt in general. I hunt archery only. Please PM me if you would be willing. I dont mind driving even for a day hunt. Thanks again for the advice.

Post by: Arrowhead on May 02, 2011, 03:35:41 PM: Yes there are a few out there. I am surprised that there hasnt been a problem with bear - human contact so far. With all the idiots that dump there trash out in the forest, the bears have gotten quite accustomed to their presence and think theres a free meal everytime. Its only going to take one fool to make a mistake.

I hunt in Kitsap near the Mason line once in a while. But most of my time is spent across the Hood Canal bridge too. Get out for a drive and check out Spider lake area, Gibbs lake ect. Some big genes going on around Gibbs!
