The Huckleberry wasn't easy, but there are plenty of bears there. If you want an easier hunt head to the blues.lollllllllllllll thats a good one

I bought a point, who has time to hunt
Unfortunately I'm in the same boat. . . :'(
Two weeks of paid vacation doesn't stretch very far.

The 2013 regs are posted online @ the WDFW website...to include all the corrections so far. Download the regs as a PDF file or just open them up. Purchase the "lottery tickets" online or @ an authorized store & then rub the magic 8-ball :chuckle:
Got a link, I didn't see them. :dunno:

I'm not trying to be funny. I think the blues gives people a better opportunity to see bears.

nothing easy about the blues steep lots of snow makes it hard to get to any public ground. i hunted in the blues 3 weeks last year and did not see 1 bear just bad luck on my part. never hunted ne for bears so cant compare.The Huckleberry wasn't easy, but there are plenty of bears there.

But doubt that will happen. I really hope I know someone that gets drawn for the NE or Blues. I'm wanting to get out bad and chasing bears was one of the most fun hunts I have done in a very long time.
Also wouldnt mind going on the west side if someone gets drawn they want/need help packing or an extra set of eyes glassing.

I'd say take him....especially early on when from past threads you are doing more scouting than hunting....don't most bear hit the ground closer to the end of the spring season?
For sure!
I'd say take the kid.

Definitely take him. I took my son along on several hunts when he was quite young. Now he is just young and we are putting in for bear tags together this year. Start building memories.

Well, the stats are that of the 209 permits issued in eastern Washington, only 113 hunters actually hunted bear. That is 54 percent.
In western Washington, the stats are similar. 370 permits and 189 hunters for a 51 percent participation rate.
Too bad we can not survey the bear permit winners on this forum and see how many actually hunted.
Adding some examples: gmu 101 <50%, 154 <50%, 117 37%, 121 74%

Its a way to look at drawing results before they are official.
when can you usually do that? and where?

Last year I think a thread about backdoor checking for spring bear results got to about 20 pages before the actual drawing results were released. Any guesses on how far this one will make it? :dunno:
