Hey there new huntbc member and new spring bear hunter here.
How’s the bear population up Chehalis Lake area looking? I really want to get out for spring bear this year but don’t often have the ability to go further away out of Region 2. Have done a bunch of 4x4 exploring up there and have seen quite a few roads that are now only accessible by foot either because of washouts or gates, and l don’t mind going for a good long walk/hike l would actually prefer it. Would these be good roads to check out for bear or is going up there at all a huge waste of time for hunting?
Also have a few ideas for up East Harrison but Chehalis is far closer
I've seen lots of black bears up there. Also heard 3 bears roaring at each other right at dark one night. Sounded like bear threesome was about to go down. I shot at and missed a bear up there.
