Oregon spring bear gear

[Thebigbaby]

Leaving around May 4 for a couple of weeks to spring bear hunt. I have been getting gear and equipment set out and organized for this trip. Just wanted to see if y’all have any recommendation's on what to bring.

Spotter, lightweight chair and permethrin are packed.

East or west side? Horses of two different colors

Chainsaw and/or winch to clear trees out of the road. Predator calls. Cougar tag just in case.

East. Took 6 points to draw.

Chainsaw is packed.

Good reminder on the predator call. Mentioned it to my hunting partner but forgot about it.

I did get a turkey tag but will think about adding a cougar tag. I generally buy one every year but figured I’d stop this year as I’ve never seen a cougar yet.

Shovel and maybe tire chains, depending on the elevation you're at. I tried to power through a snow drift over east last year around the 20th of May. I got stuck and had to spend about an hour digging out.

Good call, thanks.
