??Bear in Manastash?
« on: August 05, 2012, 08:49:46 PM »
I am going over into the area to do some scouting next Saturday to check on the roads and to find myself a Cow Elk this Sept. and I was wondering how the Bear population is over there? Has any one had any success in the area, and it would also be nice to see some pics! And, if any one has any advise for that area I would appreciate it as well! Thanks

The bear population has increased steadily over the years, I have tagged two bears and missed another in the last 8 years all while deer and elk hunting.

the cougar population is healthy so have that tag in hand as well.

  26 years hunting/hiking/camping in the Lt Murray i have seen 6 bears, with one hanging... :dunno:  Its possible, but i wouldnt make a specific trip myself.  If your going scouting throw the rifle in for sure.

+1 on the cougars.  We need to kill alot of them.  Every year i see atleast 3 kills.  Cant imagine how many more 1 cat can kill.

Well my goal is strictly scouting for Elk, but I plan on packing the bow and rifle just for added bonus. I'll make sure to get the cougar tag this year!

I usually see at least one bear and cougar a year in Manastash while elk hunting. Theyre in there but not like some areas.
