When you enter the woods you reenter the food chain .

Doesn't Washington have a black bear season? I know that Idaho's bear season already started on the 15th of this month.

ORIGINAL: davidmil

It says the bear attacked a hunter and was killed by another hunter after the bear dragged the guy off. So tell me, what are hunters hunting in Wash. at this time of year that they carry a gun big enough to dispatch a bear?
id have to agree with davidmil

Take a look at the link provided above. Washington State has a Spring Black Bear hunt.

I guess that could be one reason to carry a weapon big enough to kill a bear!

Thankfully that story wasnt bout me... I was turkey hunting lastweekend and accidentally walked up to w/in 20ft of a bear. It was eating corn out of a wagon and was on the opposite side as me. Thankfully Im pretty sneaky and was able to sneak away unnoticed. Sure got my heart going when i saw those black ears on the other side of the wagon, not to mention the few choice words I whispered. I didnt think my turkey loads would stop the thing if it decided to get me.

Bowhunting for elk in Colorado last season I walked into a black bear on two seperate occasions while alone. I wasn't worried but just a bit uneasy and nocked an arrow just in case. Each time I just froze and slowwwly backed off until the bears would take off in the opposite direction. Man they can move fast!!!!

Has anybody gotten any more details? I had heard at one point they were running dogs. Has that been confirmed? If so, did they need a special permit?
