I was just wondering the same thing earlier today. I look at the last years regs and the application deadline was May 22. I figured it would all be about the same this year but who knows.
Are you referring to the regular special permits by May 22nd? Or did you mean Feb 22nd?
Seems like I remember them doing the drawing in third week of March when the seasons opened April 15th, but now that a few units open April 1st, I'm wondering if they'll do it a little earlier. :drool:

This state thinks we hunters dont have lives to live we just can go bear hunt anytime. This drawing should be held about a month ago!I agree. The deadline should be Jan 28 for spring be a draw. With results in feb. That would gove time to actually plan a hunt and procure vacation etc...

amen! The rest of the special permits should be drawn by end of April! It all takes too long!This state thinks we hunters dont have lives to live we just can go bear hunt anytime.

Pretty sure they only send a card if drawn. If you are not drawn and didn't give an email address then you won't be notified.

I contacted the director a few years ago. He swore there is no longer a "Black List" now that S..itch is gone. A couple days later I get an email saying, "Wow, that's a lot of 'Not Drawn". I've gotten a cow tag, deer tag and a spring bear tag since then! I'm feeling pretty good that I am no longer on the "S..itch List". Probably not going to be as lucky as Carp, but who knows :dunno: At least I don't feel as though it will be another 20 years.

Post by: RadSav on March 04, 2014, 11:49:13 PM
Well that's good :tup:
It'd be cool if you drew again so you could use the bow on one this year
I passed on three last year I could have easily shot while I was carrying the bow. One bald sow with a cub (Oooo so ugly with no hair), one sow with three cubs, and then one loner that might have tipped the scales at about 75#. Got within 25 yards of all of them. I also got charged by a 15# cub...That was exciting! He seemed upset when I just stood there at about three yards said, "You're kidding me, Right!" :chuckle:
Was a tough year hunting by myself in Aladdin last year. I just couldn't find a mature boar anywhere. So when Dale had some free time and said he knew where a good boar was that two guys had already missed I didn't think twice before grabbing the 325 Kimber Montana.
BTW - Hunting with Dale is a blast! We killed a nice boar, solved the worlds problems and laughed till my gut hurt. What a fun guy to spend a few days with. Definitely worth it for you successful NE spring bear hunters!
Post by: Jonathan_S on March 05, 2014, 08:40:05 AM
I really am hoping to draw a NE unit this spring, I saw a bunch last May and several that would have made me happy to shoot.
I have spoken to several people who hunted 101, 108 and 117 for spring bear and never saw one :yike: I think people don't know how to hunt bears if they can't find one in those units.
Post by: RadSav on March 05, 2014, 09:08:23 AM
I saw a lot of sign last year in the other areas I had found on my own, but no bear. It's a nice place. Almost no cell coverage so nobody can bother you. Very relaxing! And a whole bunch of grouse, coyote, moose and deer to see. A ton of ground squirrels too! I brought my 22 mag but kept forgetting to ask Dale if it was legal or not so never got a chance to play.
Place is absolutely loaded with stupid turkeys too. So get your turkey tags if you go up there. I could have killed at least one tom a day WITH MY BOW if I hadn't already tagged out on the opener.

I see in the 2014 regs it still says three turkeys can be taken in the spring (2 in eastern WA), but why are we allowed to buy 7 tags? I swore I read an article last year that said they had increased the spring bag limit, but looks like I was wrong. :dunno:
I added three more during deer season in the NE. Could have added one more later in the year if I had wanted to drive that far for just a dumb bird. The seventh would have been if I wanted to tag an Eastern over here on the wetside or another Merriam in the Klick.

If the draw repeats from last year it should be up tomorrow. Last years draw was out on Thursday the 7th. Maybe this Thursday will be my lucky day.
Last years submittal date - Thursday, February 28th
Last years draw date - Thursday, March 7th
I'm just guessing here but....
This years submittal date - Friday, February 28th
This years draw date - Friday, March 7th
Should be either today or tomorrow... :drool:

I don't believe it's "Friends, Hollywood and family first", then the general public like it was back then. And it's been a while since I've heard about emergency damage drawings for Hanford bull elk that only S...tch's muzzy club and members of state congress knew about. While this WDFW doesn't fill you with overwhelming confidence I haven't gotten the feeling there is any wide spread back room deals going on. Maybe I'm wrong :dunno:

Looks like we're headed to Mt. View.
Same here. I started the training this morning. Added 25 pounds to my backpack for my walk to work.

Sorry, better luck next year.Great, another missed opportunity for me to draw the tag I want instead of somebody who is already giving up.That's too far for me to drive. Guess I will just eat the tag.No, you get it in Blaine.Do I get that in Walla Walla?Is Sherman a good tag? Think that's the one I got.
Yes, as long as you remember to get the Hancock permit to access it.
This sucks.......gotta fork out the money for a Hancock permit now...........
