Did you draw Skagit

[Boss .300 winmag]

Well lets see how many fine HW folks got lucky with probably the most coveted spring bear tag. 

[Maligator]

I had Monroe 1st pick & North Skagit 2nd pick = not selected & not selected

Me and buddy drew.  hope they kept it at 20 permits and not 30

I dont think they changed it this year but i wish they had because then the season would be until June 15th.

When i drew a couple years ago i only saw 2 other hunters out their. I really never saw anyone. I didnt see a ton of bears it was over 10 but i dont remember the exact number. I archery hunted until my last weekend and then the 2 bears i saw were diving into the brush on the way in.

My wife had plans for us on memorial day weekend so i missed the best weekend of the season. This year i told her i am not going anywhere, planning anything for that weekend.

Yup... i drew. My brother in law drew and a buddy drew. Should be a fun time. It is a great hunt.

Saylean I always need a pack mule

You guys who drew are lucky, that's a great tag.

Why do you think it says, "team slayer pack mule" by my call sign?

Its gonna be great. Of course, the way you hunt, you need a companion, not a packer.

The wife was asking me if I would be able to fill the freezer this spring. Then she spotted laughed and asked when was the last time I shot a bear...

2008 she was with me

I think I will have to drop the bow and grab the 280.

Is everyone going to make it to the meeting coming up?

Should be interesting.

I also thought i should provide a link for people who have harvested bear in the past, sent in a tooth and never got the age of the bear back from WDFW.

I checked the link recently on my fall bear last year....nothing yet. I understand it takes a full year to get the results back and posted.

[Wea300mag]

Received my Skagit permit in the mail today. Season runs until June 15th. 

I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the hills this spring.
