So the story goes like this;
This is my fourth year trying to get a black bear without any success.
Most of my attempt on bagging one was short day trips
that were not productive at all. I finally realized that day
trips are pretty much waste of gas for city dwellers like me.
Probably all of you experienced hunters roll their eyes and think
I could have told you so, but it took me a while to realize it so go easy on me.
I heard that Clearwater is a great area to go for bears.
My new plan is to be out in the woods on Aug 31st to get familiar with the area
and be ready to hunt on Sep 1st, I'm thinking about staying for up to three nights
if necessary. I will be alone so I would prefer to be hunting close to the road, it would
be probably not a good idea to shoot the first bear miles away from the car in a rough terrain.
I've never been in the woods in Clearwater area so I pull up the trusty google earth and
quickly realize that there are a lots of logging roads in all directions around Clearwater.
Now to my dilemma, which way am I going? South? North? East? West?...
As customary on all thread where people asking for help;
"I am not looking for your honey hole, I am just looking for advice what area should I focus on".
Now that we have this out of the way;
Is it even a good idea to head there this early in the season?
Is there a better place/time I should go?
I would be gladly buying the doughnuts and coffee if someone is out for bear at the
same time and would be willing to show me the ropes.
I appreciate any help that puts me closer to that mystical furry creature.
Thank you.
