KELLY HILL GMU 105
464 Hunters
50 Permits
43 Reports turned in
Males 15 harvested
Females 11 harvested
Total 26 for the unit
Hunters 36 reports turned back in
Success 72.2 success rate ?
So if I based my success rates on the targeted number of bears they had for permits it is more like 52.2 percent. :dunno:
I can say that I didn't see a single bear last year. I spend a fair amount of time there.
I'm sure someone is going to justify the number based on the hunter reports. But I would much rather see the percentages of tags given VS tags filled. :twocents:

I think it would be better to have otc spring tags even if they had a spring quota to limit spring harvest
Would that be self reporting and policing? Require bear to be checked in for a stamp? I like the concept but not sure how that would be policed. Not sure I've ever seen a warden on a spring hunt. I've seen people say they aren't necessarily honest on harvest reports. Not trying to thread jack.
