Everyone stay informed. Also we need to keep calling and writing the department about August bear.

Thought I would pass along an e-mail I recieved.

Paul,

I spoke with Donny Martorello, Bear & Cougar Manager, regarding the 2010 bear seasons.  He indicated that the WAC will be going in front of the Commission at the March and April 2010 Commission meetings.  I currently do not have the dates for those meetings.  Please feel free to check back with me if you have any further questions.  I hope this helps to answer your question.

 

Thank you,

 

Katey Jones

My fear was that this issue would be addressed during the fall and winter. (while we were all busy hunting).

Hey Rick, I didn't see anyone on this thread that was against bear hunting in August. Just that everyone agreed that if you get one you have to get it out quick   :)

I have taken a bear aug 1st three out of the last four years and they have all had good hides and made great rugs. I have seen a couple bears with rubs and let them go. As far as hunting in august though I like it, its another reason to get out of the house chase after critters and get some scouting in for later seasons.

Your right about that, it can be tough with the bowhunters when trying to chase bears

i cant say i wouldnt be mad if i was on a stalk with my bow and someone shot my bear from 250 yrds but we all have to share the woods right. i would be mad but at the same time im sure i would help with the drag out. i mean as long as the guy was respectful.

In Virginia I have to wait until October to hunt for black bear, the archery season runs from October 3 to Nov. 13 and the the muzzleloader season is from 31 Oct to 13 Nov, the rifle season is a little longer the end of Nov to into jan 2010. Deer season also starts late this year for archery and ml and rifle/shotgun.

I hope to get out near my grnadpas place in in Clayton when i come back next month. Fingers crossed I can tag one and then bleach the skull while I am there and put the hide in the freezer.

15 to go.   :bash: :bash: :bash:  Anyone else?  I have watched every youtube video I could find.  Some more than once.  Looked at satellite pictures until my eyes crossed.  I haven't got any scouting done in a couple weeks but might try next weekend.

I really thought I would have one or two pinned down, but I haven't been out in a couple weeks and the last time out I couldn't find fresh sign. :bash:
