Who else thinks it’s absolutely absurd that we don’t have spring bear permit results yet????

I missed the deadline so they are holding off until they get my stuff entered.

Trying to remember when the draw was last year? @D-Rock425

Hopefully they send out mass emails again once they do! Haha

In the past, it was 2 weeks after the deadline. March 14,15 is my guess.

I have 3 points and only put in for one unit, so im not holding my breath.

I did the same thing last year. Remembered in time to buy all the licenses, just forgot to do part 2...... submit. :bash:

Nah, I drew 49° North last year and had a great trip! Figured I'd wait this one out. But, I'd be happy to return the favor if you get drawn for Skagit this year and need a hand.... :tup:

Got my results already.......

8 points fingers crossed.

Only two points, no high expectations here. I’m more looking forward to the multi elk results with 7 points.

I drew multi elk with 8 points last year. Was out of state all of archery, muzzy and modern. Didnt hunt elk a single day. May as well have lit a couple hundred dollars on fire.

ouch! I’ve drawn it once, hunted all three seasons and loved it. Wish they would just sell them over the counter.
-
Ha, I’ve got 11 multi elk points, never have drawn it. Only in with two bear points.
-
Last year I put in for spring bear for the first time and got a tag. What are the odds of that?

odds depend on what tag you drew.

I won't be in the looser lounge, if I dont draw in WA ill be in Idaho... might anyways!

Just took my test. Optimistic I guess.

Is it really that fast? I haven't taken it.

I just took it myself.

I looked at my certificate from last year, am I reading this right? I have to take this bear test every year?

I think so.

Yep. Every year.

It looks like you need to take it annually and have a printout of it on your person in the field if you are hunting in certain GMU's deemed Griz areas by WDFW.
-
Ya, every stinking year
Shrink the certification down and tape or staple to your transport tag. You have to show the cert upon demand in the field.

I kept it folded in with my tags. That’s dumb. They could at least make the test a bit better so it’s not such a waste of time haha

They all have laptops in their rigs and double check anyway. Why do we have to carry more dang paper around. Last year I took a photo of mine and kept in my phone.
-
just in case they get out of their trucks :dunno:
-
It should all be electronic and available on the WDFW app. They can send you a paper transport tag and life would be good. No reason for paper, especially the mountain that's required to recreate in WA. I can barely fit it all in a standard Ziploc for my family, absolutely crazy how much we need.

Here are the Spring Bear Permit Result posting dates and times. Most of these I determined by the first mention of the drawing results being posted on the forum, so by no means are these official.

-
Just got my 100% on my bear test. The pictures seemed way better than last year although 80% of then were black bears. Taking the test early improves draw odds right?
-
Sounds good to me. Took mine, passed, good to go.
-
Anyone have any knowledge on the Monroe tag? Will it ever return?
Whats people's view on the Skagit tag versus some of the East side ones? I've got some friends who have done well on some of the NE corner tags and it always seems like the Skagit crew does pretty well. The NE ones give you a good shot at a color phase I suppose.
Good luck to those who put in... I've got 5 points this year but had to do another bonus point as I'm not around to use a bear tag until fall.

3pts this year if I remember right. Not holding my breath. If anything I'll buy a reduced bear tag in Idaho.

My Dad is in with 7 points, Wife is in with 6, I'm in with 5, friend is in with 2. I'm really hoping to be spending my spring in the mountains looking for bears.

Went in as a partnership that averaged out to 8 points. Put in for a couple tough to draw units and one easier one.
-
I put in for points (first year applying) but I am curious how people pick what unit they're going to hunt in? I spent some time trying to figure it out but it seems much harder than just general GMU math for ungulates. Anyone got any tips?

It's a long season, so I pick the permit that is closest to my home so that I can optimize time in the woods, including evenings and weekends.

I usually pick the ones closest to home but this year I picked units I'm unfamiliar with in an effort to force myself out of my usual haunts and into some new territory. If I draw I'll be that guy asking for help for a unit he drew he hasnt been to in twenty years. Don't mind me :chuckle:

Depends on what you are looking for. The north east units hold lots of bears and Turkeys, South East is hard to draw and potentially hard to access, West side is mostly company timber land with differing access and looking for bears creating tree damage.

This is b.s. still wont let me take bear id test for 2019. My 2018 cert expired nov 30 2018.

Mine said the same thing. I scrolled down and there was the test for 2019
-
I saw two different test links. One for 2018, and one for 2019. Scroll down the page just a little further and double check.
-
Wow, thanks. Why even leave the old link up? Makes no sense.

No, it doesn't. Which makes sense, WDFW right?

Fine. I’m in. I vow to check this thread 4x daily for the next week, increasing exponentially thereafter.

They key is how creative you get both on checking and reporting in. I'm a firm believer in logging off, restarting my pc, then clear all browser hostory, cookies, etc...then check. If submittted or not selected shows repeat. Here on Hunt Wa it's more of a fishing expedition to see who you can get to check. Trust me....I'm the highest paid of all mods and did draw recently.....like....5 years ago so yeah I know a few things.

Nope....actually working....but i will.

So (I feel I always have to give this disclaimer) I am a newer hunter with no success under my belt, and I am curious what the intense draw is all about with this hunt. What makes a spring bear hunt so desirable, as opposed to hunting bears any other time of the year? This seems to really get people excited and I am trying to find out why.
-
Its spring time and there's nothing else to hunt and getting drawn for anything in Washington is like winning the lotto.

Since the Kapowsin access fee went from the $100 to now required to buy the $300 full access I called and made request to change my kapowsin permit request to just a point. Will see if it happens. Don't want the stupid permit now. I guess I should have looked at the tree farm regs prior to applying. I hope it gets changed and allows someone else the opportunity to draw their "dream" tag. I will just go to Ideeho and buy over the counter if I really need a spring bear fix.

I would rather have over the counter spring bear here than draw a quality deer permit every 2 years. Quality permits arent worth a damn if we dont get the deers predators in check.

Were talking about a 75 day season up here. Pressure would be pretty spread out. Wouldnt be like rifle deer where the woods fill up with hunters on opening weekend. And a lot of folks who draw ne spring bear only come hunt for a couple days, if at all.

Orange is not required. And you really think the woods are going to be packed with bear hunters when the season goes from april 1st through june 15th? An open spring bear season in ne wa wouldnt be about a quality hunt, it would be about addressing our predator issues to protect our ungulates.
They could always leave some units around the state draw only, for your "quality hunt." Just like deer seasons.
-
The spring bear draw hunt is not about a quality hunt, it’s about limiting the number of bears killed. There is such a large number of permits in the NE corner because of the over population of bears. My sons drew one of the units with the highest number of permits last year. Between the two boys, I spent over 4 weekends hunting last spring. We did not run into another hunter, so I’m not too concerned about the otc season being too crowded.

Its totally highway robbery what Hancock did with permits this year... not only did they dump the reduced spring bear fee of 100$ and are charging 300$, they took away the family pass so now EVERY adult entering has to pay for a separate permit. They should absolutely loose any and all tax breaks they get if that is how they are going to treat access... its absurd!!!

I could care less about there tax breaks.
Tree farms should get told to pound sand on bear tree damage intell they decide to open access to spring permit bear hunters.
No more bear feeding stations
No running hounds for spring bear.
Intell they grant access to spring bear boot hunters.
-
I don't understand why Spring bear isn't OTC or at least Unlimited draw (that way the state still gets the application fee income). It has been my experience that bears are much easier to hunt in the late summer/early fall. Find ripe berries and there will be a preoccupied bear nearby. Fall tags are OTC and they give out 2 tags! (westside) Why in the heck have I been waiting 6 years to draw a spring tag? When you really stop to look it over, it's clear that WDFW "Biology" is really Economics 101. Biggest example of this is the stocked rainbow trout fishery and the lowland lakes opener.

I'm not mandate anything ,The spring bear hunt is a damage hunt for bears that are peeling or just to lower poulations to reduce damage.
If a private land owner has tree damage and doesn't allow access then that's there problem not WDFW.Private land can allow spring bear Hunter and get some benefit to tree health,or they can suffer tree damage.In the near future it will be a decision they can make.
Have you heard that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make em drink.
You can give out thousands of bear permits , but if timber company's don't allow access it does no good for tree damage. :twocents:

The private timber company just then have licensed trappers come in and kill off as many as permitted by the WDFW. It gets taken care of behind the scene.

Now that they are done catering to my complaint they can get back to work on the draw.
Draw should be run about a week later than normal on my account. :sry: :chuckle:
-
I heard thru the rumor mill that Shaniqua left WDFW to go work for Weyco. :dunno:
-
Since the Kapowsin access fee went from the $100 to now required to buy the $300 full access I called and made request to change my kapowsin permit request to just a point. Will see if it happens. Don't want the stupid permit now. I guess I should have looked at the tree farm regs prior to applying. I hope it gets changed and allows someone else the opportunity to draw their "dream" tag. I will just go to Ideeho and buy over the counter if I really need a spring bear fix.
Its totally highway robbery what Hancock did with permits this year... not only did they dump the reduced spring bear fee of 100$ and are charging 300$, they took away the family pass so now EVERY adult entering has to pay for a separate permit. They should absolutely loose any and all tax breaks they get if that is how they are going to treat access... its absurd!!!
I could care less about there tax breaks.
Tree farms should get told to pound sand on bear tree damage intell they decide to open access to spring permit bear hunters.
No more bear feeding stations
No running hounds for spring bear.
Intell they grant access to spring bear boot hunters.
You want to mandate how private landowners how to mitigate damage to resources on their property? Boy, that's a great precedent to set.
That precedent has already been set.
I'm not mandate anything ,The spring bear hunt is a damage hunt for bears that are peeling or just to lower poulations to reduce damage.
If a private land owner has tree damage and doesn't allow access then that's there problem not WDFW.Private land can allow spring bear Hunter and get some benefit to tree health,or they can suffer tree damage.In the near future it will be a decision they can make.
Have you heard that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make em drink.
You can give out thousands of bear permits , but if timber company's don't allow access it does no good for tree damage. :twocents:
The private timber company just then have licensed trappers come in and kill off as many as permitted by the WDFW. It gets taken care of behind the scene.
When I see support for programs like this , all I see is lost oppertunity for hunters.
Hunters are supposed to be used as a management tool and has been pushed aside by programs like this .Wasting taxpayers money for wildlife mangement they can get for free or make our state money through permit programs.
Cougar quotas-
Wolf hunting
Otc spring bear seasons
Coyote bounty
More open seasons on predators that we don't have can be linked back to programs like this.
They kill over 100,000 animals a year,at a cost of a 100,000 million in tax payers money I don't agree all the while taking hunting and trapping away from the average Joe.

You were tempted. I figured 50 50...toss out a line, see if I get bit.

It was close. Glad I checked the Huntwa results board first for confirmation. Everyone was still acting sane so I figured I was being bamboozled. Too bad this is a family site and cant share the same GIF I sent you.

Love reading the threads and the good natured trash talking for sure (or I would not bother opening the threads!)
The whole effort of trying to fake people out that the draw was run when it has not been is reminiscent of that old joke your grandpa tells every time you see him that makes him laugh hysterically. You laugh politely because he is your grandpa and you love him but...
(And then I suppose you start telling the joke to your grandkids once he is long gone!)
No butthurt here!

Anyway I'm in the draw with just a few points never draw before.
Wishing everybody GOODLUCK on draw and harvest of bear .

You know what's worse than faking the draw.

How do the points work exactly? I have three points and my wife has one (we put her in for points only this year). Next year we will put in as a party. Once we both pay for our spring bear tags next year does that mean that we will have a collective 6 points for the draw or do you only get those preference points after the draw when not selected?
-
Points are averaged within the party so you will both be in with 3 points for the draw.

The husband drew first time spring bear tag Sherman 101 with 4 points. We usually have a good supply of color phases around our place in curlew, should be interesting. I drew nuttin’ >:(
Right on, thats awesome! Best of luck hope he gets a good one!
Thanks B!

I believe I’ve seen a 1/3 of those tags for members of the site which is awesome

I just started putting us in for springers 4 years for exactly that reason, to help with predator issues... and there there really is a husband? :dunno:

WDFW biggest scam

My Dad is in with 7 points, Wife is in with 6, I'm in with 5, friend is in with 2. I'm really hoping to be spending my spring in the mountains looking for bears.
0 for 4. Yesterday was even my wife's birthday. Thought for sure when I saw the WDFW email that she was going to get a birthday tag.
Anyone who drew a tag in 172 or 175 or maybe even 169, 181, 186 and may want a hunting partner for a weekend, hit me up. I could use an excuse to head to the mountains for a spring camping trip.

I drew Kapowsin with 4 points.
I drew it with 1 point :)
Does anyone know if the $300 Hancock access fee is worth it?
-
Just to hunt bears for 2 months. No, but it depends how much use the rest of the year you’ll get I guess. Personally I think it’s rediculous they waited to release the new rules AFTER permit applications were submitted :bash:
-
First special permit for me. Drew blue creek with 6 points

Cool, I got my 6th point this year. I haven’t put in for awhile cause I don’t want drawn yet. But that’s the only unit I put in for, good luck

I feel like I won the lottery. I drew GMU 166 Tucannon. Long drive to scout but definitely looking forward to it.
-
Good golly. What a tag to have.
-
I got drawn- waste of points. (2)
Kapowsin tag- not gonna pay the price of the access pass to go kill their predators anymore.
Oh well!

If you don't have the time to scout it, just google earth and look for some nice long ridges off of trails. Don't be in a hurry to get there after the opener, I like to go mid may or later, this year with the snow might be a bit different. I've never hunted the tucannon but hunted close to there. Glass and glass, you'll find one.

Has everyone that drew received their permit yet? I'm guessing the wife tossed mine :bash:
-
Yes, two or three days after results were posted for me.

I have little faith in our game department after the stuff I witnessed during modern deer season.

Thanks Trophyhunt for the advice. I plan on spending some time and enjoy the experience.

Beautiful place to be, tough too

Pulled a Sherman tag on 1 point, seems a bit lucky. Going to run up there for 5 days in mid-may. I heard they are still sleeping in April in 101, can anyone confirm?

I wouldn’t get to crazy in April unless you just want an excuse to get away.

I saw 4 bears in 2 hours of being in the woods in April when I drew Sherman tag. Killed mine in mid May. Definitely better action in May but they are out and about in April
