Still got enough reloading components to make it happen.
Huckleberry\49
Anybody that does draw better be ready to make it happen .
Never know how long spring bear season will last.
Don't have 7 points but still want a tag.

H20 I'd be glad to show you around Huckleberry or 49 Degrees north if you'll let me mooch off those points too :chuckle:

I put all my eggs in one basket. The plan is to draw, let Dale advise on bear movement and be ready to roll on pto at short notice. I've not cashed in my free hunt as a mod so banking on that.
If you get drawn PM me later I'd swing by your camp have a beer w you.
Some areas are devoid of bears that used to always carry loads of bear.
Make sure you're seeing fresh sign.

Haven't bought license yet, waiting to be on top of the draw bucket this year. Cameras will deploy early April or as access allows. See if I can put the shaft to one. :archery_smiley:Geck ya, arrowing a bear in WA without bait would be a good accomplishment 👍

Do any of you guys apply for some Westside units? I know there’s bears around here in mason co. Just don’t see them as often. I think I’d rather hunt east side for a better chance at a color phase anyways
My game cams in the skoke unit show more bears than deer honestly. Lots of bears around this area. I will be submitting for westside spring bear and so will my son.

Just finished my spring permit/ application for Sherman and huckleberry. I’ve noticed people are saying put in multiple choices. Should I edit and put in for 2 more units? Thanksunless you only want to hunt those first two units, you might as well apply for 2 more. I only want one unit, so I only have one choice.

Why not go back?That unit is way brushier than I like to hunt and we didn't see much sign or bears for that matter in ten days. However, looking back on it, it was fun and we know the unit now, plus I did shoot a nice bear.. So, I'm in with 2 points. Don't expect to draw, but maybe.. :dunno:

KElly hill sure has had a high percentage of success the last few years, got to be plenty of bears in there.There is, just make sure you're on fresh sign and not hunting areas where bears "used to be" as they might not be anymore.
I think wolves eating them outta dens, and or harassing them outta areas near dens

Figured I should climb on the bandwagon. Just put in for the Northeast area.
So now "if" I get drawn the question is when I get to the end of the driveway.
Do I turn Right or Left. :dunno:

What time of the season do you guys prefer to hunt spring bear?
From the day it opens till the day it closes.
Give me a tag , that's how I'm rolling.
I'm sure a few on here will answer your question better than I can.
But with the chance of it closing prematurely that's how I'm going into it. And I will be to "busy" hunting to be checking emails and such .So I probably won't hear if it closes anyway.

I like the response and that's also going to be my approach. I've seen bears in every week of the spring season here in the NE corner. My observation is that they are most active in the last month of season. That's when we've spotted most of the big boars cruising for sows. First half of the season I will be looking on the south slopes that hold the first green grass of the year.
Post by: KFhunter on February 26, 2021, 10:03:37 AM
I thinks its a good balance of higher bear activity vs rubbed out fur

Normally they wouldn’t. Last year they did due to Covid and this year they might because they are currently trying to pass a law making spring bear season illegal. So I assume if the season starts and that law does get pushed through they will tell us we’re done hunting.
I’d be a very disgruntled sportsman if I finally drew and it got shut down for a bologna reason!

So I would put odds somewhere between the 10th and the 17th of March

I know most have no issues and many will say "you should have applied sooner". But in reality stuff happens and if you were one of those that had issues you would want them addressed.
Hopefully everyone can have little patience. I am in no rush to get a "not selected". Right now I still have a chance and can dream about the tag until my dreams are crushed.

I know when I was a witness for the general draw which has a ton more people applying they had to spend multiple days sorting through all the voicemails and emails from people at the deadline that had issues. They work really hard to make sure nobody is left out because of technical difficulties.

Is that allowing late entry's, because they had "difficulty".
Because buying an app. Picking hunt choice,and hitting submit. Before the deadline is a pretty hard thing to do.
Sounds like to me the same as always . Make everybody wait so we can get every last dollar.
If you can't tell I don't buy it for a second.
They always compare themselves to other states.
Yet other states can run there draw in a day or two past there deadline. Will all just hurry up and wait like normal.
It's like watching paint dry.
At the end of the day all I can say is it doesn't impress me much.

The only state I can compare to is Oregon and they have set dates that there draw results will be posted by.
Idaho and Montana have OTC spring season I believe.
At least Oregon gives a hard date of when you should know.
February 10 is deadline-february 20 draw results post in Oregon.

That's because they are doing the math, updating and adding a point for those that belong in the losers lounge. Folks like me, my points are unchanged, clearly as a result of having drawn but not zeroed out as of yet.Hay now my points are unchanged .

Here's a question... This was my first year putting in for Spring Bear because I finally have the time to go and the kiddos have gotten old enough for me to spend a little more time away. I checked my points within the special permit section and it showed 0 points and it says it was last updated on 3/10/2021... Is this a inclination that I drew one of my areas?mine is the same, had zero because I drew last year. I don’t believe it means anything.

I think the extra point means they are adding it to the draw, then we'll find out the draw after that. That way I can still feel good about having the extra point right now...Whatever makes you feel better. :chuckle:
Having witnessed the draw I will say there are a ton of steps involved in updating all of the numbers. I suppose there is a chance that they apply the points first and then take them away but that isn't how I remember it when I was there. I thought they did the draw and then either zeroed or added points depending on the outcome of each individual but I hope you are right and they apply them and then take them away if you drew.

Rainier, I remember them adding the new point just before the draw takes place, but it was almost instantly. There might have been a slight change this year.That could be true. I am a little foggy on how all that happened. I do remember that there were a ton of moving parts.
This year with the special permits tab being missing for weeks now is odd for sure.

What did you say or do to get 8 years to draw.
Did you do points only a couple years.
Post by: h20hunter on March 10, 2021, 01:50:23 PM
If you pulled a tag it will show as a bear permit in your active licenses. Points won't update again until the next draw.
Sioooooooo........

I'm sticking to the points and special hunt tab.points won't see an update till the next draws unless something changes from previous years. Last bear tag i pulled I showed points for several weeks afterward. They've updated the system for the draw. Post draw there isn't a pressing reason to update them again until the next draw

Blue Creek about 20%
Dayton 10-15%
Tucannon 7-8%
Wenaha - 40%
Mountain View/Lick Creek - 33%
Point being enough people are applying for very few tags in a mature system, you aren’t going to hunt very often. You need 15 points minimum to even give yourself a 50/50 shot.
The bonus point system we have gives everybody a shot which is great, and slightly rewards those odds each year you don’t draw, but as you can see with all the folks who drew with 2 points, the system is set up to pretty much be a random draw (like a system with no points) in the tougher to draw units!
I personally think the system is better than many out there if you are new to the game but you shouldn’t ever expect to draw anything with this system. It is more like a lottery!

Not selected for dad, me, or hunting buddy. Son drew though, so he'll turkey hunt and bear hunt at the same time.
