You think that would be the logical thing to do! Seems like their reasoning never makes any sense :dunno:
bigtex:
Because there are some parts of the state that have healthy or even a surplus of bears. It would be like saying lets lower the limit of trout in lakes from 5 to 3 because Moses Lake is seeing a decline in trout population. You don't change the entire "system" just because of a few certain areas...
boonerboy:
which areas are they changing?

than what about allowing to harvest only one bear in these units? if they cared about the sportsman they wouldnt be taking away from us
i can kill two bears just the same without having those two weeks so it dosent help the bear population at all, best time to hunt them is sept imo. just sucks cause i really like hunting those areas and even though it will not stop me from killing a bear(s), it takes away from my opportunitys which they shouldnt be doing without reason
