Units 68, 68A, 70, 73 and 73A: Extend general spring and fall seasons to western portion of the region

Extend general spring and fall seasons (no bait, no hounds) to the western portion of the region where black bear harvest opportunity is not currently available. Black bear densities are low in these areas but reports have increased in recent years. This would allow hunters to harvest a bear if encountered but harvest is likely to be minimal.
