STATEWIDE bear reg proposal 🤞

[Bango skank]

So is anybody on here going to the meeting in port angeles on thursday?

The Commission agenda shows that the bear changes are scheduled for 1:40 pm, Friday. I was planning to attend but my work schedule got screwed up. I do know someone that's going so I'm going to ask him for an update Friday afternoon. They are only allowing 10 minutes for this in their agenda so hoping that's a good thing.

Cool, please let us know how it goes.  I think this is pretty much a done deal, but still.

I've got an august bear hunt on the schedule so hope it all goes through.

How does it stand now if you harvest a spring bear on the east side? Are the fall seasons currently separate from spring?

As it stands now only 1 bear per year can be harvested in e wa.  Spring bear is not an "additional bear."

Is that part of the proposed change?

The proposed change is an aug 1st opener and 2 bear limit statewide.  A spring bear will still count toward your 2 bear bag limit.

Why do i not see an option to purchase a second bear tag online? What am i missing? Ive never purchased a second bear tag before.

[HillHound]

I have bought them a couple times in the past but it has always been after the season has started and I have filled my first one already. I may be mistaken but I don’t know if the option to buy the second one comes up until after the season starts.

[Bango skank]

Makes sense i suppose.  I have no intention of buying a 2nd bear tag before the new regs are official anyways,  just checking.

Anybody hear anything on how this went?

I wish I could have sent my 12 year old to the meeting.  He's besides himself.  "YOU MEAN WE COULD BE BEAR HUNTING WHILE WE'RE PICKING HUCKLEBERRIES!!!???  WE ALWAYS SEE BEARS WHEN WE PICK HUCKLEBERRIES!!!"   

[Timberstalker]

That's awesome, Pathfinder.
