Hunting Washington Forum

For all the guys that previously ran bait to not being able to run bait hows it going for you guys this year? Are you finding good pinch points or trails that they used in years prior? More or less deer? Consistent movement or every other day or every few days passing by?

If you had areas bucks were cruising and they were doing it without bait, I'd be checking those places.

I joined/donated to the Sportsmen's Alliance after listening to the Vortex podcast episode. They seem like a well organized, valuable asset for sportsmen across the country.

My dad and i got 4 in three outings biggest was 18.

Got only 1 cam currently set up and have 4-5 different bears cruising by. So little bear hiring pressure in my opinion of this unit mixed with how dense it is that it could be 3-4 bear limit for the few who actually spend any time or effort in this and it wouldn’t make a dent. I hunt archery typically every years and I’d say on average we run into 4-6 bears accidentally during that period of time.

Makes zero sense. We have so many bears it's ridiculous. If anything they should increase the limit to (3) bears, and we wouldn't even see a dent in the population. The amount of deer fawns and elk calves killed by the bears is incredible.

Not many people get to listen to a elk calf or fawn being eaten alive by a bear or coyote, but I have many times sitting on my back deck. There needs to be a balance, and that balance is heavily shifted to the predators!! For some us that live in the woods and can shoot in almost any direction, we get to see what reality is, and the this corrupt state has no idea what reality is.

It's time to bring things back in check...Just my
