........Actually i would travel to the panhandle to get him a bear............
Yeah I get that-just should be something closer one would think.
We've seen bears most places there, the grizzlies are a mixed blessing. Keeps the hounds, and bait elsewhere. Nothing against either, just one less distraction.
Some of it can get a bit overpopulated with recreational camping around Memorial Day, but the days are long.
Unit 1 had kills of 221, and 4-4A, had 233 combined, and was a 2 bear area if I recall.
Idaho site gives a pretty good unit, by unit breakdown.
I find myself being vague, it's because it's been a bit since I had boots on the ground there, stuff can get overgrown pretty quick.
Really bears are all through the area. i"ll break out the map, and talk to a couple of people, see if I can narrow it down.
Is your taste more hiking oriented? Do you need a place to park a trailer etc.? How much time do you plan on putting in.
