So I was having the same question since I have a spring bear tag and my brother pointed it out to me I needed to take the test. Well what I’m seeing on the website is that Washington’s test won’t even be available till July 1st after my season has already ended. :dunno:
Did you read the letter, that came with the permit? Nope, me neither. :chuckle: It give the website.

Like he said /\
"The bear identification test has been approved by the Fish and Wildlife Commission and will be available after July 1, 2018." https://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/bear_cougar/bear/
They've updated the page since this year's regs were released. I took the test in April, but there was no way to print verification. If I recall correctly, at that time it was 16 pictures of bears of varying color, age and profiles (standing, side, face on, etc) with the question griz or black.

Did someone shoot a Grizzly thinking it was a color phase black Bear?
Yes, in fact, that did happen, a couple years ago. So one idiot causes a knee jerk reaction over one incident. Does that mean its necessary? Not to me. But you know how these things go. One fluke incident, from one moron, is enough to call for new laws nowadays. All it takes is one idiot to ruin things for everybody.
