Thanks for the reminder. I probably would have forgotten. Of course if it wasn't for this board I would pay attention and be sure I didn't forget. But knowing there will always be a reminder on here, I don't have to worry so much. I am only going to put in for a point.

Really?? Because you're unlucky or Monroe is that tough to draw? I was thinking I might actually have a shot this year with 3 points, but who knows...especially since H20 and D-Rock have already claimed 2 out of the 25  :chuckle:

Just myself the wife, and my two kids.  All are point free with the exception of myself I guess there is no better time than the present to start building them up for them.

I think a guy would have a very good chance with 5 points.  I'm in for Monroe with just two points.  I drew that tag two years ago with one point.
Title: Re: Spring Bear apps due February 29th
Post by: sled on March 01, 2012, 07:05:13 PM
  I drew last year with two points.  Was alot of fun.  Be nice to draw back to back.
Title: Re: Spring Bear apps due February 29th
Post by: Button Nubbs on March 01, 2012, 07:49:07 PM
Well I've been putting in for monroe for 5 years and can't draw, you guys will prolly get it again with minimal points and I will be stuck with 6 next year. :chuckle:

Post by: h20hunter on March 02, 2012, 08:58:24 AM
Well Nubbs......if you get drawn give me a shout. I'm happy to tag along as an extra pair of eyes and a back up gun. I'm pretty good at packing meat and would be happy to help out.

However.....since it has already been mentioned that I've called dibs on one of the tags (I've got one point, this year makes two) I understand your chances are slim of getting drawn.   :chuckle:

I'd say you have a decent chance at the kapowsin, they give out quite a few for that area. Good luck, I'm trying for the blues and have 3 points. It took me 6 points last time to draw, and 3 the time before that. The first year I drew for the blues I had 1 point but that was the first year they offered the tag and not too many people applied. The spring bear hunt is my second favorite hunt next to elk.  Good luck guys.

I have the blues as my 4th choice, simply because it is so far from home. I hear it is good hunting out there though. Good luck on the draw.

If you get the blues tag let me know which one, unless you already have a place picked out I might be able to send you in a good direction.

Put in for Huckleberry with 0 points so chances aren't good....BUT...I put in with my brother as a party, and he has drawn the Huckleberry twice in the last three years.  Once with 0 points the other with 1.  Hoping some of his luck will pass on to me.  We had a couple nice bears we saw last year but just couldn't put it together with the weather not cooperating.  Fingers crossed  :tup:
