Ghost Hunter:
So is this another 'study' or are they relocating problem bears?   We really didn't see much damage till last couple of weeks.  A lot less than previous 2 years.  Either not many left or we're doing our job :dunno:

No one that has called or emailed has gotten a response yet. I am very curious about it. There is very little area there to actually capture from the air. I would also like to know why.

Yes, the damage to timber is alot less than in previous years and I think it is due to the high numbers of bears killed in the last 3 years. It will be interesting to see how many were killed this spring with only 50 permit vs. previous years with 100 permits.
Ghost Hunter:
Just received a call from WDFW asking for success report for me and the wife.  Went ahead and returned call, to report our lack of success in the CF.  The lady said a total of 52 tags were issued.  Of the hunters contacted, so far only 2 reported being successful in harvesting a bear.  Asked about the aerial hunt.  She said they were putting tracking chips in the bears.  Oh, and better luck next year :dunno:
billythekidrock:
Thanks for the update. I am still waiting on F&G to return my email request about the aerial deal.
Curly:
Maybe they can give out the tracking receivers next year. :chuckle:
