Well...yes...it is a little tacky but there is hope. I would start with the bear section and do some key word searching and reading. Lots of good info. Also....one of the members was kind enough to put some time and effort into kind of newbie guide to west side bear hunting. Read it, then read it again. I've seen the packet you will be getting...some good maps and basic area. I would add google earth to that then get out there and hunt.
