I've been "bear hunting" for a few years now and have only seen one. I use to hunt in 660 on some old Port Blakely land, then it became a Discovery Pass area, gate removed and it became flooded with hunters during deer/elk season. Lots of clear cuts, just never any luck. This year I thought I would try unit 636 North of Wynoochee Lake. I heard that there are typically a good number of bear in that area. I went up a couple of weeks ago to take a look. Didn't see anything. It was very quite up there. I didn't come across any signs - maybe a couple of dated ones nothing that looked very fresh. Anyone been up in the area before? Late October early November is it more likely that I will have better luck down lower closer to the river? Assume they won't stay up at the higher elevation that late in the year. Thanks for any feedback/advice.
