So this fella has tag #8. First, how many think that a sow will be killed before tag #8 in Area 1-6? If it gets down to #8, he takes his 10 days and goes filming and donates $600 to the G&F. The real unfortunate part is this from the regs?
"If an applicant cannot be contacted by the Department as outlined above, or if an applicant declines participation in the grizzly bear hunt, or if an applicant fails to submit a cashier?s check or money order for their license fee and to show proof of having earned a certificate of competency and safety in the use and handling of firearms within ten (10) consecutive days after notification by the Department, they shall no longer be eligible to participate in the current year grizzly bear hunting season."
So each non-hunter can take roughly 20+ days of the season...ouch!. There is another hunter in the field at the same time whether that be #7, #9, hell may be #10. If you've got a lucky low tag #'s be ready to go and get after it when they you are contacted. Hell there may not be time for tag # 11 to even get out in the field if folks aren't ready to get after it.
