I think youll be waiting a long time

I believe you are right......  Now that soccer is a done deal. I might rethink my strategy.   Anecdotally, maybe taking one for the team because you know as soon as I burn points.....

  you dont need many points to draw anyway, it aint quality elk.  Just get yourself one of the better northeast or southeast permits this year, and if the unit you want ever does get opened it will certainly be several years down the line, and by then youd have enough new points accumulated for a slam dunk anyway.

Good luck finding one Bone!    .Would love to see you put a WOODEN arrow through a big ol bruin.

Thanks!    Not that everyone wouldnt want...but I want to get a really big color phase.   I have one I've been sorta after in my deer area the last couple years.   He's getting pretty big and he sure is pretty.

Is this what We are waiting for?
spring turkey and bear seasons?

[boneaddict]

Sadly no.   All I usually carry with me is my daughters little digi cam so I can possible squeek out a couple field photos.    Maybe this September while all of you are chasing bulls, I'll catch up with this fella

Pics?

That would be cool. Good luck if you tote more than the lens.

It’s sad to hear about the pelt sealing. If I hunt this spring and they don’t except a small piece of hide for sealing I guess my unsuccessful box will be checked as well. Who’s packing 80# of hide they don’t want out of the backcountry?

So I just peeked at the spring bear info page on the WDFW website, am I mistaken, or did they make a mistake?  It appears to say only one bear can be harvested in eastern Washington    https://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/special-hunts/bear

Yeah, its a mistake.  They just used the same text / layout as before and changed the date, but forgot to delete that part.  They sure remembered to add the hide sealing part though.
 Just standard performance from our highly skilled wdfw staff.

Thanks Bango, wish they could just actually try to do something right every now and then.

Ive decided im going to wait until the last minute to decide if im going to put in for spring bear.  If the feb 28th application deadline comes and the unit im going to be hunting deer in next year still hasnt met the cougar harvest guideline then i will put in for just that unit for spring bear, in the hopes that cougs will stay open through april.  That way i can combine my deer hunt scouting / treestand setting / tcam setting work with both lion snd bear calling starting april 1st.  If the coug quota for that unit has been filled by the spring bear app deadline ghen i wont put in, ill just do all my spring bear hunting in idaho, and worry about wa bears in august
