Just stay out of the wilderness areas and you won't have to worry about it. There are some good areas for bear around Mount Adams I've heard. Or are you wanting to scout out a spot for next year's high hunt while you're at it?

Nope looking for bear!  Adams is close but Central washington is becoming my favorite!  Hope to retire there.  I already have a great spot for deer else where.  Just so happens for me nothing gets the heart rate up like a good bear!!!

I think out of Glacier Peak, Pasayten, and Alpine Lakes, Alpine Lakes will have the least amount of pressure. But there is plenty of high country that isn't included in the high hunt. I think there's some good area in the Entiat, and/or Slide Ridge units, where you wouldn't have to compete with deer hunters. If you really want a good chance of seeing bears, go to the far northeast.

I should head over to the Entiat for bear and scout the area for deer!  Are there many huckleberrys in the Entiat?

Thanks for the help guys.  Appreciate it.

Fishing & Hunting News had a story about bear hunting Lake Wenatchee; Little Wenatchee or White River.  There are at least four outfitters working the Pasayten high hunt.  That area probably has the most horse groups both private and otherwise.

Was at the White River trailhead on Saturday...three large horse trailers in the lot, presumably outfitters.  Also about 10 non-hunter looking cars.  Would be interested to hear what it's like up there next weekend for the high buck opener...I'll be in Arizona and will miss all the fun.

MJ - sorry, didn't look close enough.  Ford, Chevy, Dodge?  Honestly can't remember.  I drive a Tundra, and would have remembered that, but that's about it.

Did notice that one of them had a full stack of Trail Passes hanging from his rearview mirror.  Figured that's a guy who's spent a lot of time at the trailheads.
