Im in there on the north half 3 days a week and have seen one bear in 3 years, but there is always a chance.  Moose tag north or south     cow or bull?

Wait for one up hill and it will be easier

I saw six this past spring, there are plenty in there, I would take the rifle.  There is a pretty blonde and red cinnimom sows, but let them both grow.  The red cinnimom will have a cub you won't be able to see in the brush and the blonde is only about 100-110 pounds.  I have some good photos of all three of them.

I would love to see pics of those. I have had cameras in that area since mid July and only gotten 1 small bear on camera.
