Chehalis has some nice lighter colour phaze bears in the area I was just west of there friday evening and spotted a beautiful chocolate colour phaze bear and another that was black and brown mixed, (no not spots)

Look at south or west facing slopes but not anywhere on the slopes target the greenest spots that are extra damp the bears will be laying down in them munching away to their hearts content.

dang it - my daughter is camping up in Chehalis with her grad camp out weekend and I am hoping none of her school had any of those shenanigans going on - when you said Red ford ranger I had a slight heart beat skipping but then remembered her boyfriends pick up is a red ford F150.

You have to find a pretty secluded area to hunt on May long weekend. People are pretty much everywhere on every kind of motorized vehicle.

on google earth theres some nice slashes on the east side of the chehalis is looks like, might go there

The best bear hunting is either first thing in the morning before the partiers are up or in the evening when most of the weekend travelers/partiers are off the roads usually around 6:30pm - 7:00pm starting their partying so start hunting the slashes/cuts around 7:30pm - 8pm.

Should give you a good 1 - 1 1/2 hours of undisturbed hunting... :smile:

I'm heading over to give a try again tonight taking my ATV this time need to give it a good run before I head up north for my 3 week prospecting/grizzly hunt.

Also I've been glassing from one side of the valley over to the other instead of trying to spot up hill only a 5 - 10 minute drive over to the other side where I'm hunting.

the truck looked like it had been down there for awhile. the slide is huge that washed into the lake there is a 20 foot high mark on the shore from the waves.

Went out today for a few hours here on the rock. Didn't see any other hunters, found a fly rod, and saw 6 bears. Not a bad day around here.
