2019 spring bear?

[elkrack]

Anyone aware when the wdfw will post the 2019 spring bear dates and quotas?

They will basically be the same as last year. 2019-20 proposal didnt have any drastic changes besides dropping monroe.

I think I have 12 points.   Is that a "sure thing"

  12 points I’ve never ran into anyone with that many spring bear points! I love that hunt hopefully this year will the year

im assuming you’ve been putting in for points only to acquire that many

Pretty sure @RadSav had max points until he drew a couple years ago

Wow

Ill only have 2 points this year... if anyone wants to help a brother out and group apply let me know... I'm looking for someone with 6-12 points

X.....

I'll have 6. Area you are putting in? I think I've seen you with some nice bears.

Not at all. If lady luck skipped you 12 times a 13th is likely. But I have buddies that draw every 3rd year.

I have 9 and will probably apply only for a point again, like I usually do. Just waiting until I have more time to hunt. Wish they'd give out some permits in Capitol Forest again, as I'd be able to hunt it on the weekends. The other units that are a 7 hour drive I'd have to take a week off work and that might not even be enough time when I'm hunting an unfamiliar area.

A week is plenty, it's all about the timing.  It usually takes me 5 to 6 years to draw, only have 3 points this year.
