Title: Rimrock
Post by: zackmioli on April 17, 2009, 08:26:29 AM

I will be putting in for the Rimrock Cow tag this year and if drawn I plan on doing a large amount of scouting throughout the summer/fall and I was wondering if anyone has gone after or seen many bears up in that area. I plan on focusing on the Round Mtn. area first and moving on from there. Just wondering if I might be able to harvest a bear while also scouting for elk.

Thanks!

I have hunted that mountain for the past ten years.Two years ago we saw a very nice standing at the round mtn trailhead .If you have any other questions i would be glad to try to answer them . My family and i spend alot of time in that area .Here is a couple of pics from elk season last year.

I have not hunted this area a ton, but the Pinegrass Ridge area had sign everywhere. But of course I never saw a bear :bash:.

Rimrock has some bears but not a huge population.  i've seen some right off the south fork tieton road though.  Man those elk pics are giving me buyers remorse over my westside tag this year.
