I'll be heading over in a couple of weeks and am new to that unit. Are there any decent (safe) spots to set a camper (24') while I'm there?
Best of luck to all of you!
David

There are plenty of areas to park a camper in the Huckleberry unit and a large amount of public land and access. You shouldn't have any issues finding a spot going over Springdale Hunters rd.
Good luck!

First post and here it comes! Lol
I'm new to this unit yes I'm that guy from 300 miles away hunting a unit I've only driven through once, I'm a combat disables army vet, and I'm flying solo to the huckleberry unit, everyone balled, but I'll be up there for 2 weeks, red f150 and I'm 6'7" so if you see bigfoot it's prob me don't shoot.
All kidding aside I'm asking a lot on a first post, I'd like to get my first bear this year, where should I start I'll be scouting and hunting any help is much appreciated!

Day before yesterday was glassing for bears and a few black hairy critters showed up. Unfortunately they were the canine variety.

Pretty action packed day. Alarm went off at 5:30 am and i rolled out of my sleeping bag promptly about 8ish :chuckle: hiked down to a good glassing spot and in maybe 15 minutes i spot a big black one across the steep deep nasty draw. Game on. I start moving and halfway to it i run into a nice light brown one, but i think the black one is bigger so i give it a pass. I get to within 200 yards of the big guy but i needed to get up higher for a shot, then the wind went crazy during my stalk and he smelled me and vanished. So, hiked back, had some lunch and relaxed for an hour or so. Went back to my glassing spot and took me all of two minutes to glass up another real nice looking black one. Back across the draw i go, get close and the wind is once again not cooperating. Not sure if he winded me or not, coulda still been where i last saw him, so i decided to make a wide loop up onto the mountainside to where the wind would work, got to maybe 100 yards from where i thought he was and figured too much vegetation to push my luck trying to creep closer. So i sit down in a little clump of trees and dig a call out of my pack and start blowing on it. After only 5, maybe 10 minutes max, i hear a tiny little insignificant sound and turn my head. There was a bear 10 yards away staring me down. At that point my gun kinda went on auto pilot. Wasnt any rational thought going on. I shot her and she dropped like a sack of potatos, didnt take one step. Pretty decent size for a sow, and a very exciting hunt. Man im tired now.

Well its a pretty average bear. Ive been holding out for a real hog, passed up a couple pretty good bears, but today this bear kinda chose me instead of the other way around.
