pac, you do any bear hunting up there.

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Yes I do. Haven't shot anything for years not because I couldn't, just didn't see anything I wanted. I did pass up 2 real nice bears last year. One was a blond, but it was 105 out and I wasn't going to take a chance of it going bad before I got back to the cooler. I saw one last week on the Twisp river that would go about 225. It was about 1 mile down river from War creek.
I saw a total of 11 bears last season only 2 were big enough for me to think about and as I said I passed them up.
I also get one or two every year that show up by my place on Beaver creek. Sonetimes a nice one shows up, but always when I can't get my gun fast enough lol.

Sounds good, thats one animal still on my list to get. Saw some bear tracks couple weeks ago. Ill be trying to find him come bear season.

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

You might try going up the War creek rd and glassing back across the Twisp river valley, or go up toward Reynolds creek and glassing the old burn. Newbey creek is another good area. Also go up the Chewuch river to the 2001 fire area and glass in the burn area I was up there yesterday and there is alot of early berries out.

Thanks for tips, I may try and get back up to twisp and bear hunt this fall. You work for the forrest service or something like that.

I'm a Sci Tech. with the state Fish and Wildlife. I monitor the fishing seasons on the rivers, talk to fishermen to see what they caught, how long they fished, bio stuff etc.
I'll keep you informed on what I see each week and give you and idea of where I'm seeing the critters. With the exception of the big one I'm going after lol.
Do you steelhead fish?

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Sounds good, sometimes I do but mostly just taking the kids to the lake to fish is about as much fishing as I do. Hunting season is what I look forward to. I have 8 deer points so im hoping I draw that tag this year.

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Good luck on the draw, what unit did you put in for. I was going to say if you steelhead fish I do that to. In 2002 I landed 451 steelhead off the Methow, and 122 last yr. I didn't fish much last yr.
I duck hunt that time of the yr so I have to split my time between the 2. Thats one of the reason I archery hunt, I can hunt early and do the other stuff later.

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Boy you are serious about fishing, I use to duckhunt all the time growing up but not much now. Thats a fun hunt. I put in for desert, entiat, perragyn and alkali. have you killed any big mulies.

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

Biggest one I've gotten so far is about 23" mule deer. I live in the Pearrygin unit.
I've come close at times to some nice ones but nothing yet.
