looks like spring bear apps open Jan 2.

Would a spring bear make for a good first bear?  I'm at three points and counting, hoping this is my year

Heck yes! Spring bears will have a lot nicer coat then most of the fall bears taken. Less likely to have major rubs and the hair is very thick and lush.

WE all know spring bear is no fun. I wouldn't even apply if I were any of you....

[Tman]

5 points and I still havent drawn. Maybe 6 will be the magic number.

[180-GRAIN]

Drew with 4 points last season, it was a fun hunt hope to draw another tag this year but doubt it will happen.

I had a terribly long and unfruitful big game season(s) this year and my 300ws
 Is still a death dealing virgin. I'm super stoked for spring bear and hope
My 6 points will get her done!

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

I been waiting for a rematch with the one that outsmarted me a couple years ago,

[actionshooter]

Does anyone know when the deadline is?  I drew the 1st year and saw several but they were always a sow and cub. Haven't drawn since.

Here is the one I'm looking for!

To improve your drawing odds, please let this topic die...

No good bears left after last season....other than this one......

[D-Rock425]

To improve your drawing odds, please let this topic die...

you mean this topic reminding people when the deadline is?

[h20hunter]

Yep...that.

D-Rock....don't tell anyone the bear in my pic was out during daylight hours just at the end of the season in the MONROE unit.

Shhh.....don't tell.

[D-Rock425]

Was that the one in the sultan basin?

[h20hunter]

Nope....not anywhere near the Sultan Basin.....no....wait.....is Kellogg Lake in that area? Shucks, now I don't remember.

[Elkrunner]

Never shot a bear before...I may have to put in for this Monroe tag you all are talking about..
