anyone else get the wdfw ne bear survey?
« on: November 02, 2011, 11:28:06 AM »
just got it in the email when I came in to grab lunch really fast. I really dont like the loaded answers.
Which option would you prefer for addressing the issue of increasing spring bear harvest in northeastern washington.
No change
Increase spring bear permits from 145 to 225 and change the fall season from September 1-November 15 to September 1-September 30
No opinion

I want more spring bear permits, but dont want the season shortened  :bash:

Can you write in that you want increased spring permits and retention of the current fall season?

One moment you're flying south for the winter, then - BANG - gravy.

Not much of an option on that poll. I do like that they are starting to require wild id #s but wish there was a place for additional comments or an "other" option.

Personally, if the harvest is that far below objective I would like to see a general spring season in that area and do away with the special permits.  :rolleyes: Not likely for that to ever happen though.
