Thanks! Yep got a bear tag too. Know of any good guides in that area? Live in So Cal so won't have many opportunities to scout and would like to go with a seasoned hunter first time out.
How would everyone's answer change if the primary predator were mountain lions instead of bears? Being in So Cal bears, locally, are obviously not an issue but we have quite a population of mountain lions and, in recent years, run-ins have become more frequent.
