I am curious how many Washington bears have been taken in 2009 by members and how many are first time bear hunters.
You will be allowed to vote up to 5 times if needed.
For example:
A vote for killing a bear/or two bears yourself.
A vote if it was your first bear ever.
A vote if it/or one was a spring bear
A vote if your friend (non site member) killed a bear
A vote if a friend/or another friend (non site member) killed two bears.
You may change your vote if you need to.
Please, no photos in this thread.

one was a spring bear
I will update in August for the second tag...more likely last week of Sept, as that seems to be my golden week for bearskies the last few years.

Did hunt bears in 2009 but not successful
How can anyone vote for this option now, with 3 months of bear season left?
Just curious, as there is one vote for that option already. I suppose if you hunted the spring season and for some reason will be out of the state during the entire summer/fall bear season...

The 2008 poll ran until the end of January.
Pathfinder101 & WDFW-SUX: The only reason to select "Not successful in 2009" is if you are only hunting spring. Remember you still have the fall season.
Remember, if you made a mistake or kill one later you can edit your vote.
I also added an option for unsuccessful spring hunters.

Actually 4 months left in some cases. Two more weeks of spring bear and 3.5 months in the fall.

This poll is for the year 2009 and Washington only.

Sorry, my bad. If the administrator can delete my entry, go ahead. I thought we were talking about the 2008/2009 season.

I was in the right place at the right time this fall and scored a decent black bear, my second.
Yea, but I don't remember a story or pic.

I remember hearing about it before you even got back to post about it but I couldn't remember seeing a pic.
And anything said during the seasons should not be held against a hunter!

I didn't answer the poll.. Did I hunt Bears? Kinda/sorta. If you call keeping an eye out for Bears while I was Deer hunting, (hiking with weapons), or the two trips I made into a couple of my potential Bear producing spots actually hunting for Bear then I guess I did. Tag soup.

That first one looks like a great bear and I wanna see it better!!!! :chuckle:

I can't complain too much. My bear made P&Y (18 1/16"). In fact, I was told to have a second measurer score it. He is about 7' and was over 400 lbs.
Pretty tough to screw up measuring a bear skull....front to back and side to side, not alot to confuse.

I agree and even if the score were off, it wouldn't be by much.
