I feel like SW is ok.....I really just want to get a bear on the ground and fill the freezer. Plus, with limited time off I don't mind that I can also get to this unit the quickest from down here in CA.
Anyone been out in the Coast mountains lately? See any bears moving?
Thanks so much for the info. I’ve just never really hunted clear cuts before and I’m not familiar with the area I’m headed into…the e-scouting can get a little overwhelming when you’re looking at an area as big as the unit is. But I think I’ve got a decent list of spots with a high density of...
I've got a SW OR spring bear tag. I've been looking through all the threads I can find here and a few other sites. I've been e-scouting, talked to a few people, but still can't seem to find some very specific info I'm looking for on hunting clearcuts in SW OR in the Spring. Everything I've...
It’s not gonna slow me down one bit…..I’ll be packed light and moving fast! I’m looking forward to it so much and so glad to be getting back to the PNW for some time in the woods.
I drew SW….looks like I’m going solo as I really didn’t expect to draw as a non-resident with 0 points and haven’t made plans with anyone to come along. But I’ve got a week off to hit it as hard as possible.
Sounds terrible. I'll pass. Road hunting isn't what I'm looking for, was thinking maybe the fee kept the crowd down, but sounds like it's pretty intense. Hoping to draw a SW OR spring tag......just not sure where to go if I do draw. I'm limited on time because I've got a 1 year old so I'll...
Kind of resurrecting an oldish thread here, but on the pay for access timberlands, do you find it keeps pressure off of the animals? I guess I’m really asking is it worth it to pay? I’ve seen some stuff with a quick google search that says they sell 300 permits/year on some 40-50,000 acre areas...
I’ll throw in a vote for the Vortex UHD’s. I haven’t been particularly impressed with the spotter or riflescope I’ve got from them, but the UHD’s are great. Comparing em side by side with my buddy’s Swaro’s this fall, I honestly couldn’t tell the difference. I was spotting a lot more game, too...
Saw bears, but couldn’t quite put it together before having to hike out way earlier than planned due to my hunting partner having some issues that had to be dealt with back home.
But I’m convinced that if you go into the Trinity’s and don’t see bears you aren’t looking! We hiked into the...
Reviving my old thread here because I'm FINALLY going to make it up to the Trinity Alps. Got smoked out by wildfires in 21, had a baby girl that kept me from going last year. Headed up Friday evening, and I've got all next week off of work to chase bears. Does anyone have any current info on...
Well, I ended up making a pretty different decision than I expected. I was pretty set on a gas piston break barrel and looking at several different models closely from Benjamin, Umarex, and Gamo. But all the talk of how powerful and loud most of these options are kept creeping into my...
Wow, so much good info here....somehow my notifications got turned off and I'm just catching up now! And I want half a dozen of these recommendations. Thanks everyone so much for the recommendations, I'm looking through a bunch of these now and definitely have some more questions. I'm...
I'm looking to buy my first air rifle. Main reason for buying it now is that I've got some pretty large rats in the back yard I want to get rid of. They're climbing my avocado tree and stealing fruit and they're making my wife's skin crawl. I live in a residential neighborhood, houses very...
