So got camp set up for spring bear hunting this year, trailer is setting along a river in prime bear country. It’s about75 miles from home so leaving it there for the month.



Out looking around, we only have seen one pile of scat, elk,deer,and some boomer activity.



Checking out the cuts we might be a little early, have only heard of one bear being killed so far.



Lots of country to look over, should start seeing bears soon.

Good luck!

leave the keys so the crack head dont have to bust out the windows.

It’s sitting in a private campground with caretakers, the campground is closed, but is letting me stay. Behind locked gates.

Looks awesome, good luck!

Love the tripod.

Good luck keep the updates coming!

Nice set up,looks like great country to spot and stalk bears when they come out for the cabbage.

I know were you are at.
Leave a key…..,

Looks awesome I have to wait till September

Looks Good

I have several tripods, This one is fairly large, makes it so you can have it over a bank and still see good. The binos are 18x56 Kaibab's from vortex, you can count flower pedals at around 600 yards when on the tripod. The Sirui VA-5 fluid head sure is nice and smooth. Way better than a ball head. I also have a 12-40x60 Gold ring spotter. Just needing to find the bears. Had to come home to set some beaver traps on a filbert orchard today, still have to pay the bills.

Good luck

good luck keep us posted, can you buy bear permit over the counter??

No it’s a draw system, give out lots so last year was my first try without getting a tag. I have not hunted them for about 10 years but used to all the time.

Awesome! I love Spring bear hunting!

Good luck! Got my arm twisted so headed back to Canada the end of May again.

Well a couple weeks into season and have not seen much yet. Have been out several times, found some good areas to keep checking. Thought I might snap a few photos for the guys that don’t get out as often as they used too. I have lots of time left so not giving up. Here we go.



Lots of new gates are being put up, I get it people trash the place. Still not right when there is a lot of public land behind them too.







This is an old Sherif work camp, they have turned it into a veterans legacy center to help vets. They have a large garden area, piece and quiet.




The first wild Iris I have seen this year. Lots of Trilliums they have been out for a while.








This place was looking good, behind a gate about 1/2 a mile in, river in the bottom, but if you look at the top right you can see the yarder pulling logs to the top. Too much activity.




Looks like someone got an elk last fall on that road !





This is the Siuslaw river I believe. Beaver peeler can core t me if I’m wrong, it’s up stream from clay creek campground.

Continued

This is a ways back in, couple miles past a gate.



Small cougar track



Wester Oregon is thick timber country.








Poison Oak, don’t need that again this year. Looks nice and oily.



Gardner snake, we don’t have anything venomous around here except timber rattlers, and they are rare.




This is Roman Nose Lake, sits high up above the Siuslaw river. I’ll try and find some more pictures soon hopefully of bears.
