Private timber company bear numbers
« on: July 26, 2018, 05:23:29 PM »
Do the bear harvest numbers of previous years reflect bears that were killed by private contractors and hunters combined? Or are the numbers listed just from hunters only?

The ones killed by the contractors are secret. Since no one knows about them, they don't appear in the reports.

I have no actual knowledge about this though, just a guess.

Almost positive, 'harvest numbers' refers to bears killed just by hunters in season. Its like the cougar harvest. More cougars are killed every year than in the harvest numbers, but they don't count kills for livestock depredation. Those aren't hunter kills.
