Kapowisin Spring Bear

[kglacken]

Dad drew the spring tag. I have been reading around and it sounds like only kids under 18 and your spouse can go with you after you purchase the spring bear pass? Im over 18, is there a way around that? Can I buy a pass as well to go with him? Hopefully we can figure something out. 

Also, if anyone has any tips for the unit, let me know please! Hunted it a few years back but didn't have much luck as we only had a weekend to hunt.

Not sure of the spring rules but the regular pass is for kids under 19

I beleive it is under 19 for the spring bear pass and I don't believe you can buy a spring  pass unless you are drawn , if you want to go with you would have to buy the full season pass .

I drew Kapowsin as well. I guess I didn't read the rules very well...I can't have a hunting partner with me unless they have an access permit as well?

[BiggMayn]

That sucks.

Drew Kapowsin last year .... yes ,you'll need to purchase the access pass for spring bear ....last year it was $100 . I don't know how many bears were shot in there last year though .....

[BiggMayn]

Did you get one Cap.Silver?  See any?

thats the only way he posts 

kapowsin is a tough hunt. my wife and i had tags in 2013 and both killed bears. 4 other bears were taken by the other 148 tag holders that year.

$375 for permit this year.  Wish I knew that before putting in for the tag.

I think you can buy a $100 for spring bear only.... someone else will verify more quickly than me.

So,
They want you to kill bears that damage their trees.   But they also want you to pay to do it?

I need to buy me some timber companies.

Yes there is a separate spring permit you can buy. I know it's around 100 but I can't be sure. And yes, once again, you should have known a permit was required before you put in. All the information is there and readily available.

If you can get in for $100 I'd step up and go for it. Time spent with you dad is well worth it....best of luck!

Buy the permit and get out with your dad. Just lost my dad Feb. 15th and this hunting season is going to be a hard one without him. The permits came out the 2nd and my first thought was to call him to let him know, saw the changes for muzzle loading seasons on the east side, again my first thought was to call. This sucks.

  So do what you can to spend every moment you can with him doing what the two of you like.
