What did everybody apply for Spring Bear?

James K I put in for tucannon Dayton wenaha and still on the fence if I want 4th to be lick creek or mt view
if we draw the same maybe we can help each other out I have 6 points

[hoyt2002]

All I put in for was lick creek. But it's only a point building year for me.

Lincoln will be a pretty easy draw, you just might get it with only one point. The issue I have with it even though I live right on the border, is that you will probably have to pay a fee to access the Weyerhaeuser land. Which I wouldn't even mind, if the hunting were better. Out of 75 permits issued in 2012, only 5 bears were killed. The data for 2013 is not available yet. It still would be a fun hunt, and I'd apply for it if I had more time to hunt. But I'm not willing to lose 8 points on a hunt that I most likely wouldn't even see a bear.

I drew wenaha last year so im starting over this season on points. took the old man with me last year on the hunt and he was hooked when we started seeing bears. He has never applied for spring bear either so we are applying as a group this year for just wenaha. Odds of drawing are probabaly really low but you gotta put your name in the hat to get lucky. Good luck everyone!

About time for you to draw again Ripper.......

It is about time, it was 2 years ago! I only have one point but the last time I drew I only had one or two points. I know the area so much better now that my chances should be better. I know where to scout/hunt, and where not too.

If I had 8 points  , I wouldn't either.  I spent the last 6 years of working full time and night school, so ANY hunting is good enough for me... I probably won't get picky for another year or two...    I hunt almost every season I can: High buck, late buck, general, multi-season, etc...  Got a few years to make up for.  I'm hoping to maybe even run across some Blacktail spots.     Shooting a bear would be a bonus though!

Yep...I know you know that I know a nice little few hundred yard walk down a narrow old lane that has good sign....would like to hang a cam along that stretch.

[D-Rock425]

I'm just going to pound all my normal spots when I draw.  I think I have them figured out now.

[h20hunter]

I would hope so......just walk on up...let a little climb the same tree...let the string go.

wouldn't that be nice.  Maybe I'll climb the tree to and just finish him with a knife.

Monroe again for me and my son.  You can't argue with hunting that close to home.
