Going on my first Wsahington Black Bear hunt...first bear hunt for that matter.  Any last minute advice?

i live in washington state are you going solo? guided? if it was me and i wanted as close to garenteed bear, i`d look to the indian tribes on the coastal areas! they are allowed to hunt over bait!!! pack good rain gear!!

best of luck to ya!!

Just me and a buddy...no guide. We're going to the Mt. Baker area. We've heard good things about that region. Didn't know about the tribal regs though. Thanks for the advice.

yeah baiting is illeagle here except on the rez! i have heard good thing about mt baker too. you might want to scroll down the main page to the washington state froum! you may get some beter help than i can give you!

best of luck to ya tho!

Good luck on the hunt. I'm also from Washington. Been trying for bear for a long time. So don't have any good spots for you. Do know a guy from another forum specialty shooting that fron around the Vancouver area and does very well over in that region. So good luck.

If you find a good old clear cut look at the logs in it if they are tore up there are active bears in the area. If not move on to the next one and do the same thing once you find one with tore up stuff in it just sit and wait. Bears are hard to see you have to wait them out and keep glassing for them.

Thanks. Very nice bear!! Will keep trying and will let you know if I get one down. Thanks.

You want a "guaranteed bear"? I always like those guys that say that.....Just too damn easy......I figure a backpack full of peanut butter and bacon sandwiches work OK for those types....

Yeah, I know.....could use SPAM too.

Yeah...I know....cold blooded and nasty attitude......Fun if you look at it right.

I mean, if y'all are chasin' ZOMBIES what's the problem???
