yea your right billy I need to do my research.
Black Bear
Legal Weapon:
Any legal weapon used during the modern
firearm, archery, or muzzleloader seasons
can be used for spring black bear hunts. Bait
or hounds are not allowed for bear hunting
(RCW 77.15.245).
That is the only thing in the regs that I have found so far about bear. What is being said is like telling someone if you go into the woods with a Modern firearm during bear season its illegal. I am pretty sure that wardens are pretty much all the same. Baiting bear out here is legal on the other hand. But just because I have a bait pile out and no bear permit doesn't mean I am illegally hunting black bear with a 243 varmint round (respectfully saying). Think about it. Use common sense people when your out there. If there Is heavy bear hunting going on in an area then don't put yourself in that situation and in that area. If you have a tag for bears and yotes then dont be baiting in bear season.
