[QUOTE="OldElkHunter1961, post: 2487914, member: 121205"] A quick over view follows. It lacks details in which the devil indeed dwells. Break out the maps now. Start looking a the draws and drainages with the tightest contour lines. Find the prominent overlooks on the fingers surrounding each. Plot your path(s) in/out allowing for winds from various directions. Starting this summer wear out some boots hoofing into your selected overlooks testing your map study. Look for bear spoor. Tracks will give you relative size, dung will tell you what they're feeding on at the time (this will change as the seasons advance). Look for berry patches, fruit trees, etc... If there are crop fields bordering the dark timber bedding areas look for bear trails out into the crop, corn particularly. Good boots and good glass will make your life easier as will a GPS with a big screen. Good luck, enjoy the entire process. Remember that you can make audible and visual misques, but you can't fool a bears nose. [/QUOTE]
