A Note to all my Fellow Spring bear Applicants
« on: March 25, 2011, 12:52:51 PM »
As we impatiently await the results for this spring bear season I just wanted to say to you all, I truly wish you the worst of luck!
Not that I don't want each and every one of you to draw a tag but I know that each of you who does lessens my odds..
For the record: when some of you draw and I dont, there will be no hard feelings. I will wish you the best of luck in the hunt, and be very excited for you! 8)

But until the results are posted, consider yourself my nemesis! :IBCOOL:

Consider us friends then.. I didn't apply for spring bear tag.

Welcome friends! ;)

Long lost best friend...

I am spring bear tagless and applicationless.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I understand, but would expect you to apply for Kapowsin, or Copalis
But if you do get drawn for Lincoln, make sure to let me know when you are in neighborhood.....

Probably a stupid question but I'll ask anyway. Has you or your wife hunted bears in the wenaha before? In the spring?

I seen some of the bears that you guys connected with last year, so I have a funny feeling that you will be OK after not getting a spring tag.  I am sure you will  probably connect on a couple more summer bears this year.  Look at the bright side, you got one more point for next year.

On a side note, I noticed you are from Springdale, so do you know DJ Parker?
