This is my year... I can feel it. :tup:
-
Thinking of applying this year... How though? I don't see anything on the WDFW site.
-
Just go buy the special permit and apply on line....you get drawn you go in and buy the tag.....at least thats how I understand it. You can PM Ripper or Drock.....they have both drawn in the past.

You need to purchase a 2013 license, and then purchase a spring bear application.
-
Has the Game Department posted how many tags will be give out in each area this year yet ? :dunno:

What gets me is, we already have a hunting license until March, so why does the WDFW make us buy a 2013 tag before we can apply for a spring bear tag ? It's to generate more revenue. Total BS in my mind.
-
You could not hunt a 2013 spring bear without a 2013 license.
-
How does the land access thing work for the north skagit draw? I want to apply but not sure how the land access works?
-
Gate keys......however...not all keys fit all gates...

Yes, this years (or last) has the 2013-14 spring tag numbers in it.

Really? So you're wanting to get drawn to hunt bears and use last years license? Gotta be a better reason to rag on WDFW than that?
-
Im due for a tag i think.
-
Thinking of putting in myself. Never have before.
-
I'm chomping at the bit to draw my first spring tag. I think I will be going in with 3 pts, maybe another year or two and I'll get it! Always a chance this year
-
I have got it back to back 2 years in a row. So there is always a chance.
-
this is my first year puting in for it. never hunted spring bear before.
-
6 points for me this year. I better draw!
-
I put my app in a few day's ago. I'm hoping for 2 draws in a row. After last years learning curve I think I have a much better chance this time. That being said, if anyone else who get's drawn for Monroe want's some help, let me know. I'll grab H2O and/or D-Rock and we'll give you a hand. H2O, D-Rock, when's the next poker game?
-
question on group draw
Say I got 5 points and made myself group leader, and a person who has no points decides to join and enters my wild ID# and passcode and joins my group.
Will my 5 points help them? Or will their 0 points hinder me?
-
If you currently have 5 points, when you apply your count will go to 6 and your buddy will have 1 when he submits his application. I believe they will combine your points then use an average for your application. I don't know if they will round-up to 4 points or down to three though, since your average would be 3.5.
-
this is my first year puting in for it. never hunted spring bear before.
:yeah:
App in ,be waiting for the draw results...... Ripper offered his help if I get drawn -what a nice guy he is :tup:
-
I am so ready to draw! This year is 6 pts for me I believe, never drawn a single tag in 5 past years. Just getting my 300 WSM setup too, it would be a mighty good year to put the hammer down on a bruin.
-
Can someone help in pointing me to where exactly on the wdfw site we apply? I purchased all my hunting tags about a month ago, when I login to "purchase" anything else I just have the generic fishing and hunting crap listed to buy, but no listing for spring bear application? You would think sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day would make me more tech savvy... I guess not :chuckle: :dunno:

If you've already gone here:
https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/
and purchased a spring bear application, you need to go here:
https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/wdfw/special_permits.html
and click on the tab on the right, called "Submit Application"
This tab will show you what you have purchased and are ready to submit. If there is nothing to submit, you have not purchased the application yet, and need to buy it.

Averages round up. A group application with 6 and 1 point applicants will have 4 points.
-
Took 6 points to draw the first one, hoping for the unthinkable and getting drawn back to back
-
Whats the deadline to apply for spring bear? I keep getting an "internal service error" on the site.
-
Feb. 28
-
Has anyone else gotten the error message when trying to purchase the license online? I tried to restart it a few times, but still getting the message.
-
Did it to me twice today, just try again it will take it.
I hear when it does that you automatically get selected for your first choice, Skagit here I come! :chuckle:
-
6 points for me this year. I better draw!
It took me 6 points to draw 2 years ago, quite trying to get my tag!!!! :chuckle: :chuckle: I wonder if your trying for a certain corner of the state???
-
Good luck all. On a side note, has anyone hunted spring bear in NE OR? PM's would be great so not to jack this thread. Just want to get some ideas.

The best units in OR are tough draws for Non Residents, figure 6 years or so
-
Resident now. Not this year, except for the lady and we're gonna hunt the wetside.
-
I hope I get drawn this Spring. Drew in 2011 and harvested a nice color phase.
-
Haven't been drawn since '08. I'm so ripe I smell. Good luck podners.
-
I could have told you that old timer. I'm in for Monroe....give me a call if you get drawn.
-
Yeah Monroe's #2. Got some all-terrain tennis balls on the walker :chuckle:
-
Nice...well played.
-
6 points for me this year. I better draw! :o
-
WHAT THE %$#@ >:( >:(
I keep getting the same error. I've been trying pretty much everyday, and same message all the time. How would I go about this now? :(

I think you should try going to a license dealer.
-
Are you putting in for monroe? If so i wod maybe give it a few weeks then try again.
-
I've been drawn twice. Including last year, so I'm not too hopeful. Here is what put in for...
1. Monroe
2. Kapowsin
3. North Skagit
-
I applied.. First year... Pretty sure I will not get drawn this time.
-
Just purchased my spring bear permit, no I have to figure out where I will apply to hunt...decisions decisions... :dunno:
Meh, I have all weekend to decide before I submit ;)
-
Got my spring bear tag anyone up to teaching the correct way?
-

Nope...he's just really confident & believes in beginners luck ;) :dunno:
-
It says transport tag (bear )
so I figure it's real
-
You have to get drawn for a spring bear tag, the tag you have now doesn't let you hunt bears in the spring without a special permit.
-
:yeah:
Correctomundo...you have to purchase a "bear license" (which equates to a fall bear tag) in order to apply for a spring bear opportunity which is granted in a raffle fashion...but to be in the raffle you have to purchase a "spring bear permit raffle tag" in addition to the regular fall bear tag.
If you are not chosen you earn a point towards next years raffle and so on year after year... odds depend slightly on the area you choose to hunt during the spring bear hunt.
Good luck to you though :)
