How do they know what you are scouting for? I think I will be in there Friday morning scouting for deer. Might also do a little coyote hunting.

I asked about the discrepancy between the supplied map and the signs/dots,
I was mostly reffering to the red dots that are there, prohibiting motor access. The gates are open , but the sign has a red dot, pretty much all the area nw of Bunker/Ingals intersection.
I am bugging them today, just got off the phone with the biologist, and he is contacting enforcement to clear up my questions.

Well, I just got an update , according to Weyerhauser NOBODY can hunt until 3:00 Mon-Fri.
They are in the process of changing the signs to be more clear...(who knows how long that will take)
So, I am going to follow regs as stated on map, carry one with me, and hunt DNR for turkeys......

Oh well, it's better than being shut out completely.

That is Mr. Martorello's main deal, that Weyerhaeuser is uncomfortable allowing a spring bear season due to amount of active logging, and lack of confidence in boot hunters harvesting bears.
He is also attempting to arrange limited access for motor vehicles in the walk in only areas,rationalizing it by the fact that in previous years hound hunters drove in.
The main thing is, we need to show WH that we can harvest bears with out creating conflict.
And he really wants us to slay some bruins.
He (Mr.Martorello) himself will be contacting everybody that registered for the e-mails next week to update us with any information he receives.

Heading out in the AM.  Gonna give it my best effort this weekend.  See what the nw section looks like.  If it aint too steep, I'll try  biking in.  Good luck to all.

Learned a lot on Friday, like I hiked the wrong trails :chuckle:  Thanks to BTKR, Saturday proved a little more promising.  I don't think anyone would be convinced that we are on a "damage control hunt".  Just not seeing it in Lincoln.  Same as north Kapowsin was 1st year.   I will take advantage of the opportunity and hope the hunting pressure stays light for a few weeks ;)

Don't feel bad, we didn't see any recent damage either.

When I hunted Capitol Forest in the spring of '05, I didn't start seeing peeled trees until about a week into May. So I wouldn't be too concerned if you haven't seen anything yet. We did see that track and they've been eating grass on the sides of the roads.

when the new growth starts on the ends of those trees..they should start girdling..the sap will be ready.I was thinking early this year because of the weather

Yep, the little green tips (candling?) give it away. I too am thinking that it should be a bit earlier this year, but we shall see.

I was out again last night. I saw a lot of bear damage in almost every area. I was showing the wife what it looked like.
Keep looking!!
