Spring Bear Closed

[Bango skank]

What about our application fee and bear tag? Will I get reimbursement for that?

Will you get your app fee back, really?  You want to forfeit your point?

Spring bear/turkey/fishing closed
Is just another great example of Seattle running the entire state.

Look on the bright side, thats where most of the flu problem is.  If it blows up big time, washington may be able to elect a republican governor.

There's absolutely no reason to request your point back right now. If you do and they open it next month, you're SOL. If they don't open it you get the point back anyway.

Made it to bear country 105.  No tag.  If it helps, I chained up on all 4 to make 3000'.  Roads will be a mess for awhile.   Happy staying there not seeing or hearing the current state of affairs.

WDFW has already closed the season and convinced everyone that it was in our best interest to do so. You guys are smoking dope if you think they are going to reopen any of the spring seasons this year.

I agree.  Dont just request point restoration, go for license reimbursement.  Hit them in the pocketbook, only way to wake them up.  You could always repurchase your bear license july 31 if things get back to normal.  As for turkey hunters, get your money back.  We all know the spring season is the big show.  Only way to wake wdfw up is to make them open up the coffers and pay everybody back.

I do agree with ya .The only way the governor will wake up is to lose money.
If you bought your bear tag with a combo package they won't refund which is me.

Pray that common sense will prevail and they open it up after May 4th !   Too many other activities that are allowed while a very low percentage of people are messed with.

I've been praying,hoping.
Pissed me off ,participation is like half on these hunt with very low harvest.Half the people drawn don't even hunt there permit.WDFW sit and say 90% are coming from the west side.
But right on harvest reports where they asked if you hunted it half the people said no.So only about 45 % are even coming over to hunt.

send an email to the commission, not an angry one, just let them know how you feel with some facts.  I sent mine off today.  Let them know how few spring bear hunters actually hunt.

After watching Inslee’s speech the other day I am almost certain it will be extended and bear will be cancelled. It sucks.

However, I will still be driving over the same weekends I would have hunted in order to scout hoping I draw the tag again next year!
