I’d have rather seen a spring season opened up.

A second tag I’m sure will help the harvest quota, but I doubt as much a spring season would along with opening up more opportunity.
 
I like the theme of more seasons, not so much more tags. Pre rut deer seasons in AZ have become an absolute zoo with additional tags. I don’t understand desire to kill 2 bears either, hot market for gall bladder viagra I guess
 
The question that should be asked, is, from a management perspective, has eliminating hunting bears with dogs been effective. We here know the obvious answer.

I seriously doubt they will be selling many second tags for bears. Most people don't actually target bears, the vast majority of bear tag holders, don't fill the tag. And success on a large bear a few miles in, is more work than most are ready for, and greasy as he'll. Those that have filled a tag a few miles in, typically don't pull the trigger on a large bear again, unless they have pack animals, or help.

I see plenty of bears, a few miles from the road. But I simply prefer to get away from the crowds, when hunting. I've filled several bear tags in the past, and I just simply stopped buying bear tags, a few years ago. They are just way to much for this aging old man, and I'd rather hunt pigs than search for bears close to roads. Besides, pug consistently tastes way better than bear.

The black bear population will continue to be high until they release Grizzlies and they populate. Then we will see a decline in both the black bear population ans granola munchers.
 
It happened...for all the CA guys that shoot 2 bears this season spot and stalk...please post...I gotta be doing something wrong!!! Would have liked to have seen a spring season if the goal truly was to manage ... But It's a start I guess. .strong work to all that had a voice on it!

I'll definitely be trying for at least one.

I'll cross that second bridge if I get over the first one.
 
Ahh...the guy from lardassses site..still trolling ...
Been awhile...last i heard you died.
Apparently not....damn
Oh, he can dish it. But no, your thinking of someone else that did die.

It was just a friendly razz, you know, like you do from time to time. There should have been a smily face, I guess the site eliminated it. I guess I might have hit a nerve, unintentionally.

I was very impressed with the public comments from hunting supporters, I am glad they are on our side. The anti-hunting comments mostly wanted to slander hunters with emotional arguments and lies. I'm sure we've all heard it before.
