I definitely have my options on decisions the Department of Fish & Wildlife has made over the years. Some I agree with and some I don’t. I’ve been out spoken about both the good and bad. I do believe at the moment we have a solid Fish & Game commission who has been making decisions based on scientific data. They reviewed the data on bears in California and made the correct decisions to increase bear hunting opportunity by giving hunters the ability to buy two bear tags increasing bear hunting opportunities for hunters who want it. We now have the data on the bobcat populations in California so I guess we will see if they continue to follow the scientific data instead of letting public pressure and emotions get in the way of reopening a bobcat season.

If the Sun is out the Bears are out.

For me I wish we would hear more from our Department on what kinds of things are happening with our Deer, Elk, Antelope and other ululate populations. What projects are they doing? What kinds of habitat projects are they doing? I think the public and hunting community would like to know. Over the last year it seems a lot of their social media post were about Wolves.

These photos are from 2012. This was my first black bear encounter. This sow and cubs were in a tree we just happened to hike past. This experience is what changed my life and what took me down the rabbit hole of bears and bear hunting. I will never forget these moments while I was hunting with my dad my brother-in-law and nephew.

I look at wolves that eat cattle the same way I look at bears that eat trash. Once they learn it’s much easier to kill cattle why would they stop? It’s the same with bears. Bears that learn eating trash is easier than finding nature food they usually don’t stop. For some reason I’ll never fully understand people putting wolves on a pedestal above all other wildlife. Part of coexistence is lethal removal of problem animals. We do it with all wildlife and wolves shouldn’t be treated any different.

For a little size reference. Dan Watts is 6 ft 3. No we have no idea how much he weighed. He was in a spot we had to process him and pack him out. I don’t guess weight anymore and at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter. When we spotted this Bear we knew he was a mature boar. He had that big bear swagger.

The Bears have been plentiful in 2026 and we aren’t finished yet.

2026 was definitely the year of the Bear for my cousin Dan Watts. He filled both his California Bear tags.
