It would be handy to reduce the bear population around North Bend, and cougar for that matter.  I'd like to see more deer and elk use that forest.

There's hundreds of miles of logging roads you can get to by mountain bike and cart behind the locked gates.  Can't camp in there, and it might close in the next few months for fire hazard.

Head up high and watch for berry's ripening in Aug.

Scout out the area up Blewit Pass ahead of time looking for clear cuts, high moutain meadows, berrys, etc.......

Agreed, head high towards to top of the tree line.  Watch the clear cuts and look for food sources.  If you have a fawn in distress call, use it!  I find that blind calling dosent work all that well, but its great after you see one and need to close some distance, and you can even make the bear do most of the work ;)
