What are the REAL numbers!!!!!!

Do you have populations? I’ve heard bear populations around 30k and only 2k killed a year? Plenty for spring hunt without hurting them just hurt leaf lickers feelings. 2015 I killed my last elk 

I agree plenty of bears for a spring hunt.
I don't have population numbers.
Just those charts based off of harvest.

Oh man ,look at those late 70's ,those was prime years.
That's awesome information,just shows are slowly decline.
About what an average would look like.
Thanks for sharing.
91 and 92 look like good numbers too ,then it's all downhill from there.
