I have narrowed down to CO unit 61 or 62 to hunt bear with a rifle. I have 5pp(resident) which unit and why?I plan on putting in my time scouting when drawn. I hunt all on foot, but could borrow a machine if needed. Thanks for any advice!
 
I archery hunted 61 in 2016 and saw a ton of bear sign (and a couple of bears), archery hunted 62 in 2017 and didn't see much bear sign at all.
 
Drew 61, any tips on where to scout. It's a 4+ hr drive so any help is appreciated. I am all on foot, 3-5mile limit one way..
Thanks
 
Glass, Glass, Glass, Glass and glass some more. It's thick country, hiking around hoping to bump into one and get a shot opportunity isn't an effective method. Bear hunting is honestly down right boring. It typically requires long hours even days sitting on the same vantage point watching drainages. Being able to shoot extended distances helps...

I haven't personally hunted bear in 61 but have hunted elk in the unit a few times. I have seen bear in Horsefly Canyon on Sanborn Mesa - just a thought
 
Appreciate the thought, I'm planning a scouting trip here in a few weeks. Let's see what I can find.. thanks
 
Look for signs of elk harvest in the camps ask them for kill site location....just there last week Friday AM bear tracks in dust on every road I hit....clasified 214 cow elk...21 calves!!! FILL your bear tag!!! Calf lives matter!!
