Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has general tips for bear hunting the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area. I'm starting to fantasize about this coming season and have it in my head that an ALW bear hunt would be a fun challenge. I've spent a few summer exploring the ALW now but haven't come across much sign. Are there too many other folks for the hunting to be productive? Is it better on the east side vs west side of ALW? I've read decade old posts in the forum about the ALW but welcome any recent beta guys have!
Also, I've been a lurker in the forum since moving to WA a few years ago and am blown away with how helpful this forum is - many thanks to the awesome community here.
