are the odds for spring bear hunting in the blue mountains any better than in the fall

Elkstuffer · « **Reply #1 on:** February 14, 2009, 09:47:10 PM »

I have 5 points for spring bear. Just waiting to find the time to go. I know 3 different guys that have hunted the blues in the spring. They are easier to find in the spring because they have to feed on green grass to get there digestive system jump started after hybernation. Fall bears are eating anything and everything.

I think I'm up to 6pts for the blues tags, hopefully this is the year. They can be easier to find in the spring....IF you're in the right area. if you find the right area in the fall it can be great. The snow pack will determine spring success rates.

rasbo · « **Reply #7 on:** March 07, 2009, 05:02:13 AM »

Ghost Hunter · « **Reply #8 on:** March 07, 2009, 07:44:16 AM »

Here's hoping you get drawn instead of me

I need to ration my vacation time since the multiseason draw

catwithboost · « **Reply #9 on:** March 07, 2009, 09:15:07 AM »

Would like to drop my first bear this spring. As far as vacation time I have about 140hrs built up so I need to take some time off and what a great way to take it.

STIKNSTRINGBOW · « **Reply #10 on:** March 07, 2009, 10:29:51 AM »

I am applying for CF (close to home) with 5 points, but because it is last year for CF and next year 501 will be added (where I live) I hope I dont get drawn.

140...not bad. You are catching up with me. Since I put in for points I may be able to lend a hand depeding on what you get drawn for.

catwithboost · « **Reply #12 on:** March 07, 2009, 04:29:50 PM »

Sounds good BTKR. With only 2 points I dont think I will draw but have high hopes for getting on this general season.

Looks like I better get off my back end and buy my tags, just got to take a second mortgage out on the house that I don't even have to afford to pay for the tags.

KillBilly · « **Reply #16 on:** March 20, 2009, 05:47:26 PM »

saylean · « **Reply #19 on:** March 20, 2009, 05:49:51 PM »

Monroe for me, I 'll take it. Not as familiar as I am with Skagit...but its closer to the house..so it works out.

boneaddict · « **Reply #20 on:** March 20, 2009, 05:50:45 PM »

Rufous · « **Reply #34 on:** March 20, 2009, 09:24:47 PM »

I was really hoping to draw the Dayton unit but did not. I drew it in 2007 and had a great hunt. Rufous.

PWN Kurt · « **Reply #35 on:** March 20, 2009, 09:37:57 PM »

What's the advantages of the spring hunt over the fall hunt?
I thought theres' plenty of bears and opportunities in the Aug through Nov. season.

Maybe this is a topic for a whole new thread?!

Kurt

I don't think it is about advantage as much as it is about a hunting opportunity.
But a couple advantages would be prime hides, less hunting pressure.

"Not Selected" for me and my son!

jkononen · « **Reply #38 on:** March 28, 2009, 03:26:40 AM »

Shannon · « **Reply #39 on:** March 28, 2009, 08:31:40 AM »

Yeah your brother did get drawn for Skagit. He is pretty lucky with the draws.

Bearhunter · « **Reply #40 on:** March 28, 2009, 10:05:05 PM »

Eldon or Matt? Many whats with these Nooksack Ex Elk tag holders getting bear tags this year? A buddy at work that had the elk tag the first year, drew a bear tag also.

Bearhunter · « **Reply #41 on:** March 28, 2009, 10:08:21 PM »

Guy can only hope!

jkononen · « **Reply #42 on:** March 29, 2009, 12:54:06 AM »
