just so you all know,
there is a privat land managment hunts in washington for the tree farms. they get to use dogs and can Bait. the hunter or hunters DO NOT get to keep the bears they kill. They come to a ficility or taxidermist who wins a bid for the disposal, taning and cleaning of hides and skulls. to be auctioned off at state sales, thies animals can never be resold for proffit and the hunting is buy special dog owners and controled by F&G. not just any one can do it.its sad really they kill an averag of 100 - 200 bears a year.
