2016 NE Spring Bear Permits being doubled
« on: February 06, 2015, 11:58:00 PM »
Great news, all the NE GMU spring bear permits are being doubled. Also two new permit areas on the west side of the state. Should make drawing odds better. The only loss looks like the Lincoln unit, looks like no more spring bear permits for that area.

Is there a way to see online how many applications have been entered in each GMU?

I wonder if they will ever let use shoot 2 eastside bears? I would think if I was drawn for spring bear and shoot one. That I could then hunt the fall season for a general bear. Spring bear should be a damage hunt and not count as general tags. Just my  :twocents:

Just remember, the increase in spring bear permits is proposed for the 2016 season, not 2015.

I don't see how increasing the number of spring bear permits would bring in any more money.   :dunno:

I'm sure glad we have the spring bear season. I'm also glad it's not a regular season. Fall bear is such a headache around my area, because everybody and their dog is out and about. Only me and 39 people in the spring! Woot woot!

OTC for both spring and fall? I could get on board with spring being OTC if fall was eliminated or changed to permit. But to have both would be a slaughter.

Yeah right! Not on the west side at least. There are so many damn bears and soooooo much escape cover hunting, no matter the amount of pressure, without dogs or baiting will never have an impact on the bear population. Should be open for spring and fall and allow 3 bears, 1 spring and 2 fall IMO.

 :yeah: I rarely see guys targeting bears in the fall..wdfw has said that most of the bear harvest is done by deer and elk hunters.

WAY more bears need to be taken in NE WA its absurd....I rarely see a bear hunter in Sept where I hunt
