No mention of a change to hunting over bait.  That would, IMHO, help increase harvest rates.

I think they should keep charging both residents and non residents a fee for the permit but charge more for the non residents, also the October bear hunt should be for residents only......we deal with them, therefore we should have first crack at them, come December then open it for both residents and non residents 

[Haskell_Hunter]

I would agree if we were hitting the harvest numbers that the state has set, but we aren't.  Harvest numbers have been declining for a few years for various reasons.  More than likely, once the harvests start hitting quotas, I we'll probably move toward a lottery system and different pricing, but that's just a guess.

The archery season is going to be a mess. One or two bear pictures with arrows hanging out of them will shut the whole season down.
