I have talked to 2 different people with the INWC and both have said NE WA bear units are suppose to be increasing tags this year and moving toward otc down the road
I sure hope that's the case. Way to many bears in the NE

The whole state should be over the counter, spring and fall seasons. :twocents:


Um...no.

Because a lot of the spring hunts could be considered a quality hunt IMO. (If bears are your thing) and cluttering up the woods with every Tom Dick and Harry would ruin that.  There’s like 3.5 months of general season, leave the spring alone...

 :yeah: I'm down with more tags in every unit (the spring season is 2 months long), but not OTC

I support more tags in every unit. Not enough for every Tom, Dick and Harry but just enough for the Tom’s and Harry’s because we certainly don’t need anymore dicks in the woods.

Actually,  we need far more Dick's in the woods. Some you can ask  "hey, do you have a pencil Dick?" He may or may not. You don't know unless you ask.

Our state could easily support OTC spring bear tags with a quota system.Look at harvest reports when 15 permits are filled out of a hundred.Us as hunters are not meeting harvest that needs to happen for tree damage,and fawn survival.Honestly it needs to happen, spring bear is a damage hunt ,not quality.
Permit=To many people put in that don't harvest.

15 permits in an area where it is not unusual to see more bear than deer during an evening look.  Any state biologists/decision makers want to spend a little time, glad to help, the elk calves would appreciate it.
