Gotta remember that ya need to put your dues in...hunting/fishing aren't an instant gratification hobby.

E Wa bears may be different than W Wa bears. Drive to a 3-5 yo burn. Look at choke cherry bushes with binoc's, see bear in choke cherry bushes...shoot bear.

I'm not a sliver slinger, so rifle killing is way different, but ya make your own luck by getting out and trying new things.
