If your land bound a king stamp wouldnt be of much use.

Hunting the road system you’ll probably want to key on newer clear cuts with grasses in them as well as beaches you can get to that have grassy back bays, estuaries or muscle beds.
I prefer the beach hunting cause its easier to get a good look at a bear to size it up and look for cubs. Can be hard in brushy clear cuts, and anyones guess when one runs across the road and folks jump out of the rig to shoot.

If you tell me what town your staying in, or what forest service cabin you've rented I can maybe point out some spots for you to look.

Not sure what you’d fish the streams for in May. Steelhead, cutthroat, dollies…
If you rent a skiff you could chase saltwater fish and bears on the beach.

Tentatively will be Thorne Bay at the Thorne Bay Lodge. Drove around there to Coffman Cove and drove to Whale Pass one day as well when we scouted in September. Caught enough silvers in September to bring a box home, it was fun! Thanks  :)
