when does the draw happen for spring bear?

Usually about a week after the season opens ;) Or so it always seems to me. If memory serves me correct you find out by the end of March. I've gotten used to the "not selected". It's the waiting that kills me :yike:

Post by: trophyhunt on February 12, 2013, 02:06:29 PM: It took my dad and I 6 years to draw the last time, I hope it doesn't take that long again. We have 3 points this year, putting in for the blues area.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on February 19, 2013, 11:26:40 PM: Go to a dealer or online at WDFW and go to special permits and click purchase permit. You have to buy a license to apply as well. Also yes you have to know the area they are all different and you have to choose when you apply.

Post by: daveha on March 13, 2013, 02:33:08 PM: Just found out I scored a Kapowsin spring bear tag after many-o-years of trying . I have a call into Hancock Timber for an access pass. I've heard they will have a map of heavy bear damage areas. I've never been in the area and would really appreciate any PM tips someone could provide. I've killed a few bears in SE and PWS Alaska by stalking beaches and clear cuts. I've never used predator calls but I've seen a few use them around here. Are they effective?
