WArookie,
I just got back from CA on Friday, and I've been out twice in the Mission Unit. I know what you mean by lack of sign!!! My usual go-to holes are a bit dry, full of berries, but lacking any sign of bears. I may have to go hit some Blewett Pass spots or head north.
Let me know if you want someone to hunt with...I'm in Cashmere.
