How many are going for spring bear ?

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

I am curious how many of you got drawn, and for what unit.
I posted a poll on who applied and Kapowsin had the most at 14, while Grande Ronde and Mt. View had 0..

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

I drew



lincoln..

[billythekidrock]

Same here.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

BTKR, why didn't you vote?

[billythekidrock]

CRAP..lol

It is too early.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

I  really am curious how many of the 50 permits are guys from this site.....
I guess I wont be so lonely while Turkey hunting this spring......

[billythekidrock]

I was wondering the same.
It seems that there are maybe 4-6 from here already.

As for being lonely...I guees it just depends on what the boundaries are. We could be hunting on top of each other.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

  maybe next to each other...

[billythekidrock]

maybe next to each other...

lol
Again, too early.
Yes, hunting next to each other. I think it would be humping if we were on top of each other.

[workstohunt]

It could be a Hunt Wa get together

[billythekidrock]

It could be a Hunt Wa get together

It very well could be.
As long as it is not a HUMP WA get together.

Is that a banjo I hear in the background

I will be going but did not get drawn. Michelle got drawn, so will be tagging along with her she either got Lincoln or Kaposwin. Don't know what area she got drawn for yet. So will see.

[Machias]

You should add another catagory, out of state.    I'll be hunting ID this spring.

no bears in kapowsin

i applied for sherman 1st choice and dayton 2nd. it's HIGHLY unlikely i drew dayton as a 2nd choice so im sure i'll be in sherman. either way, i think im sittin pretty! this is my 1st spring bear tag, had 5 points.

Looking at the odds from last year, I'd say it could just as easily go either way. Dayton had odds of 1 in 27.5 and Sherman was 1 in 26.7.

So with the odds for both permits being virtually the same, there's no way of predicting which one you drew.

Like you said though, either one is good. You must prefer Sherman since you had it 1st?

[mattaylor81]

I looked and saw that I was selected, but can't figure out how to see which unit I was selected for.  Is there a way to find out which unit, or do I have to wait until the results are official?

[bobcat]

No way to find out until they post the results. Tell me what you applied for and I'll give you my best guess.

[Elkstuffer]

Bought my 7th point this year.

[Ripper]

I got drawn, but don't know the unit yet. I put in for Monroe, Skagit, Huckleberry and 49deg n. Hope I got Monroe, it's close to home.

iv kept a close eye on the draw/point breakdowns over the last few years and iv never seen a dayton tag drawn as 2nd choice, same with sherman. but i figured what the hay, id love to have either. im only interested in burning a spring tag on a trophy class color phase for a full mount, thats why i chose those 2 units. seen a few in both areas while turkey hunting. im more familiar with sherman, thats why it got the nod.

[bobcat]

The only reason it wasn't drawn as a second choice is probably because nobody had it as a second choice. Having it as a second choice doesn't make it any harder to draw. What matters is what you have before it, as your first choice. If your first choice has a lot fewer permits and/or more applicants, then when your number comes up, and your first choice hunt is already gone, you will get your second choice if there are any of those left.

i sure wish they had a spring hunt here in klickitat county that would be great.

[billythekidrock]

Bring it up to F&W, or DNR if there is timber damage on state land.

Do they really care about the damage on state land? I know a couple areas that are absolutely tore up on state land 

[washingtonmuley]

I will hunting bears this spring.

Not sure anymore.
They opened the CF due to timber damage and when I spoke to DNR about other state lands I was told it was up to the individual regions to assess and approach F&W.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

Everyone should know their unit now...

[whacker1]

49 for me

[Ray]

yo!

[Ripper]

  Monroe baby!!!!!!!!

[NWWABOWHNTR]

Finally!!!  Skagit!!!  Only been putting in for an area I semi know and have the time to hunt.  Always open to help also! 

[mattaylor81]

Lincoln A

[180-GRAIN]

Fiance got North Skagit.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

More voters on this poll than I got on who applied, Kapowsin had the most Apps, but seems like lincoln had the best odds ....

[bobcat]

Lincoln is new, and not only that, but of the westside spring bear units, it's probably the worst choice for a bear hunting area.

[toe-jam]

 kapowsin

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

So far the most from here are hunting Skagit.....
