Got 100% was easy for me worked for a taxidermist when in high school and skinned a lot of grizz.
It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need one and not have it.                                                                             Local 66 sheetmetal workers

Great job guys... :tup:

I suggest you tell anyone you know that hunts bear in WA to take the test.

Very glad to see so many of you guys taking the test.  :tup:

I think there are so many bear hunters that don't even think about grizzlies when hunting. I find it actually unfair that WDFW does not have this test or a similar one posted on their website and require passage as MT does before you can purchase a bear tag. :twocents:

Every so often they do change some of the photos, it's good to take a refresher now and then. :)

when I pulled the spring tag for the northeast the first year of the draw, they sent me a video that was a good one, it was boar vs sow and grizz vs blacks. I don't know why they do not have a link on their site.

100% Bearpaw, you said that most people here don't even think about Grizzlies when they are hunting.  I would agree with you on that.  I can also tell you that I lived in Montana my whole life and hunted in Grizzly Country and being AWARE is something I didnt loose by moving here.  I am still constantly looking over my shoulder all the time, which became habit for me.  Hunting around Grizzlies is something that is hard to explain.  I am sure you can agree that the experience makes you senses better in the woods.  Your hearing seems better and you see everything more clear when you are in their home.  Awsome!

That's good, I wonder if anyone else recieved that video or if they are still sending it out.

Local warden told me about a group of grizzlies (I think he said 5) he had reports about but doubted until he saw them in an open pasture here in NE WA. This happened a couple years ago. I sometimes bear hunt the same area so we try to be very careful with identification.
