Title: Re: Spring Bear....where did ya put in for?
Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on January 03, 2011, 08:38:49 PM: I will be applying for Lincoln again, seeings as to how there was very little pressure, due to Weyerhaeuser's access restrictions.
And I only saw a few other people hunting in unit, and only on weekends.
I heard of nobody filling their tag, and harvest reports (probably liars) show a small harvest in the last couple years.
Due to the unpopularity of the WDFW/Weyerhaeuser policy and lack of cooperation, I hope there are very few applicants, and I will be successful in drawing with 0 points.
It is near my home, and there is an old Tom Turkey that lives in a little drainage I like to hunt, along with a bear coming through occasionally......
Title: Re: Spring Bear....where did ya put in for?
Post by: bobcat on January 03, 2011, 08:48:43 PM: I think I'll just put in for a point like I did last year. I'd put in for Lincoln just because it's close, but I don't think I'd have enough time to hunt it. Now that I think about it, I MIGHT put in for one of the NE units, and hope I don't draw, but if I do, I could spend a week over there and hopefully that would be enough time to find a bear. Probably won't even do that though, because of the cost of driving over there and back, and if I do go over there I'd prefer to do it with a partner rather than by myself.

Lincoln because it's one of the areas I hunt
Same here, but was drawn last year, did not really get any info from WH, or the WDFW, only allowed access on weekends and after 3:00 on weekdays, only a portion of unit was permit area, and the only 2 times WH reported sightings/activity or damage, it was outside of permit area... :bash:
But I have been after a Turkey in there for 3 years now, so I will try to get drawn again, just in case.....

Post by: bobcat on January 25, 2011, 03:56:53 PM: I think I read earlier in this thread that the deadline is March 10th. Pretty sure I'm gonna be in for just a point this year. I'm not feeling rich enough right now to justify 2 or 3 trips over to the eastside. And there aren't any westside permits I'm willing to burn 6 points on.

Title: Re: Spring Bear....where did ya put in for?
Post by: blackveltbowhunter on January 26, 2011, 09:04:19 AM: Not sure if Im gonna put in for a hunt or just points this year. Last year drew the Lincoln unit and killed my first bear ever. Its close to home for me and I put in a ton of time to do it, which doesn't look like I will have this year. And as has been said earlier kind of a half hearted effort on part of WDFW and Weyco. But the season was long and saw lotsa elk and deer and was cool just getting out. You could walkin to all Weyco land but couldn't drive in till after 3pm on weekdays. Plan to put some miles on the bike and binos :) Couple pics. Not huge but I was thrilled to get her.

Post by: Ripper on February 01, 2011, 09:08:18 PM: I'm just putting in for Monroe. I got drawn last year with 2 pts, but turned my tag back in. I had to have open heart surgery, and they gave my points back. Got my fingers crossed that I get drawn again with 3 pts. Good luck to you all. Mark
Title: Re: Spring Bear....where did ya put in for?
Post by: Schwag173 on February 02, 2011, 12:12:27 AM: Check out Idaho. In the past, they practically begged you to hunt bears in Areas 10 & 12 (Lolo region). The nonresident license was a couple hundred bucks (bad) but the tags were $31.50 and they let you bag two per year (good). I haven't been down there in a while, so I'd suggest checking IDFG online.

Post by: Dirty Mike on February 02, 2011, 01:08:26 AM: Whens tags due?
Title: Re: Spring Bear....where did ya put in for?
Post by: bobcat on February 02, 2011, 07:50:03 AM: Tags? You can purchase your tag anytime. If you want to apply for a spring bear permit you will need to purchase the tag first. You can purchase your application at the same time. Applications for the spring bear permit must be submitted by March 10th.
Title: Re: Spring Bear....where did ya put in for?
Post by: alecvg on February 02, 2011, 07:57:25 AM: Points. There are really only two areas I care to hunt in the state for spring bear, and neither have a tag yet, so just waiting to hopefully hunt those areas someday.

This was posted by someone in a different discussion on here. I've also heard this from other locals and friends as well. I know what I'm doing regardless, would just be an added bonus with the extra month! Gets me that much closer to September 6th!!!!! :chuckle:

Post by: HunterJim on February 24, 2011, 02:59:57 PM: JIMKD8 ... I sent a PM, thanks for the help.

BLUEBULLS ... Probably an easy to medium hunt. I can still do the hard steep stuff, but pretty much shot for the rest of the day after an hour of climbing. It sucks getting old...

I used to live in Clarkston during the early to mid 80's and hunted a lot of the Mt. View, Lick Creek, Peola, Couse and Grand Ronde units. I was thinking I might explore around the Wenaha unit, thinking lots of permits must equal lots of bears.

wenaha is a physical hunt, low success rate due to people not wanting to put in the effort. there are planty of bears but you usually have to work pretty hard. Blue creek would be a great hunt if you can access some good land.

I will be applying for Lincoln again, seeings as to how there was very little pressure, due to Weyerhaeuser's access restrictions.
And I only saw a few other people hunting in unit, and only on weekends.
I heard of nobody filling their tag, and harvest reports (probably liars) show a small harvest in the last couple years.
Due to the unpopularity of the WDFW/Weyerhaeuser policy and lack of cooperation, I hope there are very few applicants, and I will be successful in drawing with 0 points.
It is near my home, and there is an old Tom Turkey that lives in a little drainage I like to hunt, along with a bear coming through occasionally......

I hunted lincoln last year and had pretty good luck finding a bear. I bumped into a weyerhaeuser police officer and he told me exactly where he had last scene one.

Congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment in that unit.

Got any pictures? We'd love to see them.

Post by: 50CalJim on March 12, 2011, 12:19:16 PM: I put in for Skagit with 2pts so I'm sure I won't get drawn. :( I'm not sure I want it this year anyway with the way the economy is treating me besides I'd probably end up shooting a 400 lb color phase & end up with another Taxidermy bill which I don't need. :yike:
