I'd like to hear their reason for no 113 Spring hunts.

It would be my number 1 choice every year if they did have it as an option.

grizzly encounters

Shooting grizzly in the spring would be fine with me.

Besides eliminating Monroe, I don't see any changes, I thought they said there would be?  Am I missing something?

They modified the end dates for some hunts so now they all run thru June 15th.

New to bear hunting, does it take a lot of points to draw the spring tag?  I cant find that info anywhere online.

Thanks in advance

Odds depend on which unit you apply for. It can vary from about 1 in 4 to 1 in 100.

You can draw with only 1 point, or NOT draw even if you have several points.

This will give you a general idea of the odds:

Interesting data that even with the amount of folks applying seems like it's around half that pick up the tag and go.   :dunno:

Looking at those numbers,what a joke,maybe a negative point -1 for people who don't hunt it,or harvest,the next year ,so people will hunt it harder,or won't put in for draws that they don't intend to hunt.
