Got drawn last year with 2 points, hoping for 2 in a row!
But doubt that will happen.  I really hope I know someone that gets drawn for the NE or Blues.  I'm wanting to get out bad and chasing bears was one of the most fun hunts I have done in a very long time.
Also wouldnt mind going on the west side if someone gets drawn they want/need help packing or an extra set of eyes glassing.

I know if I get drawn, i''ll definitely need help.  also...  just a question.  would it be too hard to hunt having a 3 year old kid with me?  my kid id excited to go if I get drawn, I just don't know if having him along would be a good idea.

I'd say take him....especially early on when from past threads you are doing more scouting than hunting....don't most bear hit the ground closer to the end of the spring season?

Definitely take him.  I took my son along on several hunts when he was quite young.  Now he is just young and we are putting in for bear tags together this year.  Start building memories.

I'm right there with you, either monroe or 101 for me this year....
I'm starting to think that i could be the only person to apply for a permit and still not get selected  :chuckle:

From 2011 harvest stats.

Well, the stats are that of the 209 permits issued in eastern Washington, only 113 hunters actually hunted bear. That is 54 percent.
In western Washington, the stats are similar. 370 permits and 189 hunters for a 51 percent participation rate.
Too bad we can not survey the bear permit winners on this forum and see how many actually hunted.

Adding some examples: gmu 101 <50%, 154 <50%, 117 37%, 121 74%
