So I think WDFW messed up on my permit. Sherman 7000 should be unit 101...

Just looked at mine. I get to hunt Sherman and 105!! Let's meet up and shoot one in each unit

So after reading this how much of the hide do you habe to submit ? What if someone didn't take the hide ? Just asking as I know not everyone takes the hide

Hide sealing is mandatory.  So you have to bring the hide out.  I guess you could throw it in the dumpster after its sealed, but if you report a harvest and didnt have a hide sealed, im sure it will be a problem.

Because they want more complete harvest data for spring bear hunts.  The biggest hurdle to otc spring bear is the misconception that spring bear hunts result in a large percentage of lactating sows getting killed.  This hide sealing thing could put an end to that argument, paving the way to otc spring bear.

I was forwarded an email that described the theory behind this from a warden friend of mine, a portion is quoted below.

Why was this process put in place?

The commission put these rules in place for a few reasons:

1)      So proof of sex will be accurately determined

2)      So lactation/reproductive status can be determined and recorded on the envelope

a.       Staff will likely not be able to observe milk using only a pelt.   Instead, lactation can be determined by looking for enlarged teats, staining on the hair surrounding at least 1 of the 6 teats, and hair being spread away from at least 1 of the 6 teats.

I bet the “harvest stats” go down this year.

might be the first year I toss a hide or don’t report, I’ve always reported and kept the hides.  But I’m not driving 1.5 hours one way to get my hide sealed, and that’s only if the Wdfw drives to asotin.  Prob not happening.

For anyone who has a permit that has the incorrect GMU Boundary.

I called WDFW today and asked about the issue and they created a new corrected permit for me. They can email, fax or mail the corrected permit to you.

So i would suggest giving them a quick call so you don't run in to any issues down the road!

If you paid attention to the spring bear permit areas it says #7000 and unit 101 is just part of it..

The people who drew unit 101, their permits also said "kelly hill" which is incorrect, thats 105.

I think its pretty irrelevant now, everybody can probably just use their permit as emergency toilet paper
