bigrackhunter14 Report post Posted October 3, 2014 was wondering if under the General Bear in regs are the OTC? like most units open tomorrow (Oct. 3) for otc tag? some buddies say yes some say no. im just uneducated with the otc bear season. it doesn't say Over-The-Counter like archery deer. thanks for any input.

wildwoody Report post Posted October 3, 2014 most should be open to over the counter non permit. but check the bear hot line because some units have met there quotas already from the early hunt. good luck im supposed to go out this week end Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couestracker Report post Posted October 3, 2014 Lots have closed. I was going to go hunt in 29, but it closed the first week-the archery hunt took the quota opening weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigrackhunter14 Report post Posted October 3, 2014 im looking in the 2014-15 Arizona Hunting Regulations and on pages 58-59 it shows the bear seasons and nothing about 'non-permit' hunt just General Bear and Archery only Bear and then Harvest limit. think yall are talking about the Fall or spring regs...? I don't have those regs yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couzer Report post Posted October 3, 2014 Lots have closed. I was going to go hunt in 29, but it closed the first week-the archery hunt took the quota opening weekend. Wow! 29 is my next unit to hunt next year. About 8-7 years ago I think like 15 bears where shot opening rifle season. This info was from the warden, he said it was like world war 2 with all the shooting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have those regs yet. I double checked the regs you're talking about. I believe all those are OTC and you can tell because it doesn't show the number of tags offered in a draw and only the spring hunts have drawn tags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
