Title: is 8-mile in the alpine unit (unit 249)
Post by: herdbull33 on August 08, 2010, 04:44:49 PM: went hiking up to 8-mile the other day up the icicle. Took the rifle just in case and actually saw a bear. Wasn't a hundred percent sure if I was in the right unit so i held off. Anybody know if 8-mile area is in the alpine unit? Help would be awesome so this doesn't happen again. Thanks
