Good lucking finding a bear near Brewster, I graduated High School from there. Not alot of State land, and low bear numbers. Above Malott (in the Chiliwist) is on fire right now as we speak. There was also a fire about a month ago that quite a bit of land. It your looking for bears I would drive up Antone Creek above Manson, just passed lake chelan.. Alot of bears up there, plus alot of hunters though. Okanogan County is hunted really hard by west siders.. I know it sounds bad, but its the truth.. If it were me, and since you live in cashmere I would hunt Mason area.
