I picked that unit only because ive never been there, so I could see new country. More of an adventure. I will definitely try hard to fill my tag.

Buy an RRCALL and go calling. Best have 2 sets of eyes.
The Elbow Lake area has been logged/thinned.
Keep an eye out for GRIZZLY and WOLVES......

I hope to get up high and get some vantage and just glass. Spotting them is just as fun as getting a bear to me. Im about 4.5 hrs away so i will be sorta close. I will go enough days to get it done.

Good plan. :tup: Keep in touch, might have fresher info by then. Of course it will be from an unsuccessful bear hunter. I put in a lot of time last year, and talked to several tag holders. It wasn't a slam dunk for sure. Don't think I seen a bear until May.

That would be bad, get excited to see a big old phase and not pay attention. Tell you the truth, Inhave not killed a black one, so if I saw 250 lb black male, done.

Will do. Nice thing for me is, is that I feel totally lucky to have the tag, so I see bear, .28 Nosler go boom. Except for sow, cub...grizzly I guess. I never saw a grizzly in sherman or 49.

I've seen a grizzly in sherman. Wasn't expecting to..almost made a mistake but as soon as the glass was up it was obvious.

That would be a really nice bear!! Average size boar in that area is more like 150-175.

all the bears I ve taken or watched in Kelly hill in last 30 years Id put 8 out of 10 or even 9 out of 10 as some shade of brown. I have only taken 1 myself out of all of them that was black.
My dad killed killed 18 straight bears from 1 spot he liked to sit that all scored over 18" 1/8 0 sows and 17 brown. All over 300lbs with one near 400.

I might be going early if I keep seeing sun and green grass on the south slopes. I wasnt excited but now I am. Just want a tag filled and some meat!
Sent you a PM. Even if you don't see a bear you can learn the country. :tup:

Don't know if this was mentioned, BUT, I.E.P, Inland Empire Paper has land up there and YOU DO NEED one of their permits to access their land. They patrol and file trespass charges against you. I was told this straight from the people who sell permits..........
:yeah:
and lot's of bear in it

Anyone having any luck? We’ve been here for four days and have hunted all day each day. We’ve seen a sow with two cubs and two yearlings. Seems to be really slow in this unit? Covering lots of ground and not seeing very much sign is discouraging with only four days left for us.Sounds like my 17 days last year......and then a chance.
