What trailhead are you going in on?  Or bushwhacking?

Most access is off NF 5270 or NF 5292 for the trailheads.  But you can bushwhack in off NF 5260, 5262, and 5230.   I've never tried coming in from the park side.

I forget the road numbers but I have gone in from both the Butter Creek Road and the NFS road.  Rugged country, have lots of success up high both general and late season. Generally in the late you’ll want to come up from the Cannon Rd TH, but if snowfall is light, go up Butter Creek.  In the late, get to the snow line and skulk around, they’ll be moving, any small benches are good spots for bucks to hang up. I’ve seen a number of bears killed on the Butter  Creek side near berries and avy chutes, though never hunted them myself. In the early deer, try to get high before daylight, then start glassing. Be prepared to part an animal out and pack it.
