Anybody going for Spring Bear?

[Snowman]

I guess I need to hurry up and make up my mind if I want to put in for an area or just put in for points.

Put in! Your area an mine if ya get drawn up here I'll take ya out. 

[bigtex]

i knew there was a fee but am unaware of how much it is.

Well the year round pass is over $300 but that was sold out about two months ago

They (Hancock Forest Managment) are offering a temp pass that is only valid during the bear hunt for $100

I really wish people would research their areas before submitting apps because many people who get selected for these fee areas don't use their permit because of the fee and those of us willing to pay the fee lose out...

[backwoods_boy]

yeah i just checked into that and i wont be putting in for that one 
Just bought my spring bear app.  Now to figure out what areas to apply for....Hummmmm........
After the meeting this week anyone know when we will be able to buy special hunt permits for elk and deer?

After the meeting this week anyone know when we will be able to buy special hunt permits for elk and deer?

What meeting? They are having a meeting the 12th and 13th to discuss the new proposed special permit system and other things. Is that the meeting you're talking about?  

Then they are supposed to make the decision about a month later at the next commisioner's meeting whether to accept the proposal or not. So I'd say we're looking at a minimum of 6 weeks before applications will be up for sale. (notice I said "applications."  I wish I could purchase a special permit but all we can buy is the applications)

Yep, giving it a go again.  Hopefully luckier than the past few years on drawing.

[backwoods_boy]

Yeah thats what i thought.
and i meant apps haha

Just bought the bonus point.  I looked at the hunts, and I didn't realize that there wasn't a GMU supporting Spring Bear closer to my home.  Looks like I'll have to plan for it next year (or maybe the next).

I'll be up there chasing them in the fall, though.

[backwoods_boy]

Looks like the site is up and running again.
Just applied for permits.
Elk multi season....
Deer multi season...
Spring Bear...

I finally put in my Spring App for Bear yesterday over the phone.  Kinda hope I get drawn now.  Got 3 points going in.  Havn't drawn anything for 3 years.  I should draw something this year.

[backwoods_boy]

I got 4 points for multi season elk hope i draw that one :-)

[markts]

Just put in for bear permit today, nothing like being on top of things Mark

[75johndeere]

my luck i will get pulled this year and i will be on vacation for the first two weeks of the season

[saylean]

I put in for Monroe and North Skagit. If I get drawn, Im going. If I dont get drawn, I am going with my camera.

Same here, I might be spending camera time with you....

Cool man, let me know.

I thought I put my spring bear in the other day but apparently niether the internet nor the telepnone was working properly. I tried the internet first and it obviously did not work. I then tried the phone automated system which appeared to work fine. I even got a confirmation number. I got a message left on my answering machine yeasterday stating that my permit was submitted when they were having problems but none of my hunt choices were recorded. They left a message that I called a few minutes ago and supposedly they took care of it.

I put in the N Skagit since it's close to home.

Just a little FYI if you plan on puttin in as a group the limit is (2) for bear.
