The California Fish and Game Commission has updated the regulations. They have amended Sections 365 and 708.12 for bear hunting tag validation. 1 more business day has been added to validate your bear tag.  Word is since there are no numbers on the bear tags for what bear gets a tooth pulled the wardens are pulling a tooth on all bears now.
