I've been up 3 times scouting and looking for sign. So far, haven't cut a track yet on Manti North or spotted one yet glassing. Am I just a bit too early still?
If you are looking to get a bear on the north manti your best bet is to hire a guy with dogs, you are going to have a hard time getting one without dogs and not being able to bait.
For sure, it would be easier with a guide and hounds. This is a DIY hunt for me. If I don't get one, I still will get to spend lots of time in the mountains.
