It is not your road, it is OUR road. Also, as of late it appears everyone else has made it THEIR road, so it is less ours than ever before. I think the only thing that we now own is the stupid river crossing. :bash:

Can I PLEASE go with some Monroe folks as a beer drinking groupie? :hello: I'm good for things like distracting, drinking, sitting on a stump with a walkie talkie and a case (of beer), enjoying rain, gutting bears, road hunting (but not the driver...see stump/drinking comment above).
Also, I have a fawn decoy... :hello:
-
I'm pretty sure I've hunted D-Rock and Stangs road, so I guess that makes it mine also. Everyone else had better stay off our road so it doesn't become C-Post South!

Got to love Washington 6 points no draw only in this state
That sucks, it took me 6 points to draw the last time I had a spring bear permit.. looks like it will be at least another 6, NOT selected for me with 5 points. I put in for an area that has over 40 permits, sucks for me. My good friends drew partners for it, so at least I get to do some guiding this spring. :bash: :bash: :bash:
-

If any North Skagit tag holders want help, let me know, I would be happy to spend a day or two in late May looking for a bruin. If you like to hike, that's even better.

I drew Skagit. I filled my last spring tag I had with a nice boar the first year the Skagit spring tag was available. I'm looking forward to it.

I suppose the only thing worse than Tag Soup is No Tag Soup.
Like somebody else said, 364 days to go to the next draw.... >:(
-
Tucannon second choice.
-
Not Selected but not surprised. After drawing the Lincoln last year, I put in for some more difficult hunts to draw.
Good luck to all that drew spring tags.
-
Trophy hunt you know that hunt is the most physically demanding bear hunt in the state and if your not in shape u should steer clear. :twocents:
-
Going back to the blues again for spring bear! My hunting Partner drew wenaha! :tup:
-
Not selected, 0 points, Lincoln. I must say, knowing I have 1 point for next year is better than waiting and checking the backdoor 3X a day... :-\
-
Nice work to your partner toneymoe awesome tag bear should b out early.
-
Helmet again!
-
Im with BearManRic... Selected for Lincoln..but 3rd choice...not even sure where that is or why i listed it...lol research begins immediately.
-
Not selected.... Kind of what I was expecting
-
Woohoo! Drew Monroe tag! 6 years of applying and this is my first permit. What happens now? I assume I get GPS coordinates for the top 3 largest bruins in an email or something? :drool:
-
Oh bummer. Not selected for me. But that was with 0 points so not much of a surprise.
-
Selected!!!!!! Wenaha!!!!!
1st bear hunt and stoked!!!!
congrats, very fun hunt! Some years are bad with ticks but you should see lots of bears, good luck!!
There are no ticks in the blues just like elk, ask my brother, he was only sick for three weeks from a tick bite. Nobody should ever go to the blues again! That place is dangerous, stick closer to home!
-
So all you guys that drew bear tags know that you just used up all your drawing luck for the year and the rest of us unlucky so far suckers will be drawing those big buck and bull tags in a few months. Congrats and enjoy your hunts fellas
-
Congrats Shannon! I remember meeting you at the DNR office in 2008. My 6 pts weren't enough obviously.
-
Tucannon second choice.
Probably the best east side Unit in my opinion. Good luck. Hold out for a big one!

thanks trophy, do u also have the tag? Or had the tag? Any advise? Best week to take off work???

I didn't draw with 5 points but my two good friends did, I will be helping them out. I have hunted it 4 times, and taken 4 bears. I wouldn't go the first few weeks it opens, one year I did that I didn't see much. Follow the green up just below the snow line, they love those wild onions. If you've ever killed a bear you know how hard they are to judge. Lots of color bears in the blues, be a little picky, you'll know when it's big. I've been fooled a couple times and shot smaller sows. Saw the biggest bear in the world over there 7 years ago, of course right after I got done packing my small bear out!!!! Lots of glassing, watch out for tics. If I think of more info ill let you know, at work now. Talk later

6 points is average I guess. But folks that know my history don't think its so funny that I draw a good tag almost every year....
Oh yes, I got drawn for Lick Creek, same place I didn't kill my big bull last year.

First time putting in and no surprise, I was not selected.

I'm beginning to hate everything about this state! Once again, not a damned thing!

One point, two in the party we got north skagit again!
-
Is Lincoln a pay to hunt yet. Rick
It's open until August 1 I believe. That's when the permits are required.
I drew a Lincoln tag, 0 points. That area is close enough that I hope to actually get out and hunt a couple days at least!

This is the first spring bear season since Weyerhaeuser began the access by permit only, so I don't think anyone knows yet what will be required this spring. The permits that they sold last year, and that will go on sale again this year in June, are good from August 1st to January 31st. I would think access for the spring bear hunt would be free, since bear hunters are doing them a favor, but who knows. Hancock and Rayonier charge hunters for access to their lands for the spring bear hunt, so I assume Weyerhaeuser will do the same.

Remember, they don't look at it as a favor. They look at it as customer relations with WDFW and providing hunting opportunity.

Drew Lincoln! Been putting in for 3 years. 1st ever spring Bear permit. Lots of great info on these threads, thanks to all the veterans for the solid advise. Excited and ready to start putting in the time. Figured Rick's seminar on Sunday to be a great place to start. Seems like a lot of guys recommend calling for these West side bruisers. Any advice from past Lincoln hunters would be greatly appreciated.
Good Hunting.

Not selected but I was just drawn last year so kinda expected it

I got mine yesterday, as well as a letter with a little information about the hunt.
As far as access to the Lincoln unit, I went back and checked and it looks like that unit wasn't part of the Wey Co permit system last year.

Yes it was. It's considered part of the Pe Ell tree farm.
-
Got Mine yesterday :IBCOOL:
-
Drew Skagit! Wife and Daughter got blanked though.
-
I got my permit and another letter about Lincoln unit. Part of the bear unit is in the Wey co permit area but I was told it will be open for spring bear for permit holders.
-
drew Sherman!!!! turkeys and bears lets have some fun
-
Got drawn on group permit with the mom for kapowsin. 1pt.
Going to miss first couple weeks due to being on my hitch in CO though :(
-
Got lucky and drew Monroe w/ 3 points, second draw in four years! Didn't get one last time though, hopefully this year'll be better.
-
If anyone needs help packing a bear out in the Monroe unit I will be game to help out aslong as I'm not east of the mountains chasing gobblers!

Had the Lincoln tag last year. Got a letter granting permission into the area without a fee up until the regular season. Used a Primos Coyote and Bear buster call... it seemed to work good early am and late afternoon towards dusk.
-
Got my Lincoln Card today...and MORE Importantly... a goodie package from T6...who has single handedly renewed my faith in this website and WA sportsmen. Thanks so much T6! I OWE YOU!
It does make me a little nervous that one of the two most experienced bear hunters I know in this state (Rick) will be trying to kill my bear before me and the other of the two (BTKR) says Lincoln sucks. :yike:
-
Looks like I get to wait a little longer to go spring bear hunting. Broke my leg Saturday. Hope they give my points back.
-
Went for a trail cam check in the Monroe area. Happy to report that there is a lot of green up and fresh grass sprouting. I'm seeing buds on the trees as well. No bear sign and no bears on cam but I think you all will have a good hunt when the time comes.
-
Selected with 2 points as a group we pulled two for 49 degrees north any help on where to hunt would be appreciated
-
I got a bear on cam in 127 on the 19th
