I have enough points to draw unit 61 for bear in 2019 and was wondering if someone could get me started in the right direction. In turn I can trade info for some good elk and bear hunting in unit 62 across the Divide Road. Just like exploring new units and hunting different areas from time to time. Feel free to PM, thanks in advance.
 
I saw alot of sign in 61 in the Tabaguache canyon, specifically in one area that I wont detail here publicly, but I'd share privately if you want it. I shot my elk late evening and had to leave it overnight. The next day it was moved 50 yards and missing 40 lbs of meat with bear sign all around. The paths in that area all had bear poop all over.

The only hitch is I think the bears were largely nocturnal, plus they were in the scrub oak from hell. That would make killing them a tougher task imo. That's why the spring bear hunt should be brought back. It's soooo much easier to do then.
 
If you stay patient you probably won't have to burn points to get a 61 early rifle tag. There?s typically a healthy number of them left over.40,41, 42,421,52,521 are crawling with as many if not more bears than 61 and havr been producing bigger yogis as of late from my findings.

Hey Cole,

After some research and finding how many 0 point hunters entered the new draw system last year for 61 I was kind of thinking the same thing. 42 is looking promising as is 53 and 411. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks!
