Oregon spring bear results are out

[DeepRest]

I drew SW non resident with no pref points. Was not expecting that.

 

[Smokey Bear]

Got points, so I should draw next year.

Girlfriend drew so we’re going to try to get her first bear. She needs a little redemption after the giant she missed in the fall.

Drew mine on the east side, can’t wait !

 

[Runolfson]

Drew my east side tag! Been a couple years. Excited to get out there.

I think I'm gonna try to shoot one with my bow this year...

My wife and daughter drew with no points, I was actually a little bit bummed because I figured I drew with 2 points, but I was on the river all morning so didn’t check until the afternoon.

Surprisingly, I didn’t draw with 2 points, and that’s the only time I was happy I didn’t draw, since my wife and daughter have tags, I didn’t want a tag, so it worked out and I didn’t waste my points.

I wouldn’t have hunted my tag regardless this year, so it worked out well, looking forward to hanging out in the woods with the girls, should be a fun spring. I will be turkey hunting the opener, and can still scout when they can’t go and just bring my call with me for when I cut lion tracks

East side. My son drew as well. Now just need some snow to melt !

 

[Jibjab]

No luck for me this year...Maybe next year. Guess just Turkey

What Unit? I got 710A

Drew S. Blue Mountains for the second time in the last three years. I am hoping to get out and scout as much as possible. Need to go to the range some too! Love Eastern Oregon this time of year.

Gonna pack along my .410 in case I stumble on some turkeys while bear hunting too!

 

[jfandel3]

Got a NW tag. My first time hunting bear. Fingers crossed.

 

[DawnPatrol]

Drew an east side unit that I’m stoked to hunt, and with only one point. Should be fun!

 

[welkin]

Saw this one in the coast range today. Earliest in the year ive ever seen a bear.

What’s everyone’s thought for timing over east? I’ll get 1 chance to go for about 4-5 days. My gut is telling me to go earlier this year due to the lack of snow.

ODFW thinks it will be good from the start. My guess is that their behavior in mid April will be that of early may due to the weather this year, but I'm relatively new to bear hunting. All in all though, I'm feeling pretty good about it.
