Anybody know about the bear population in Cascade Idaho? I'm going there for a week and will be between Horsethief and Warm Lake.

BearSniper, I suggest you call Brad Compton, Monday A.M., at Idaho Fish & Game, Boise Headquarters, and ask him. He's the man at F&G who gets all the game population and location reports, for F&G.

He's very helpful.

That's beautiful country up there. Good luck on your hunt.

L.W. Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely do that. I have no clue if there are even bears up there to be hunted! Thanks again.

BearSniper,
I talked to the bear biologist at fish and game in McCall and he told me that there are really good populations of bears between Warm Lake and Yellow Pine. Spot and stalk hunting on the west side of the road up the slide shoots and canyons. If there is still snow, glass right along the snowline.
Good Luck.

Not without looking at a unit map, but if memory serves right all that within warm lake, down the south fork to yellow pine all falls into unit 24-25, if so its closed, you will have to wait till fall season opens up Aug 30.
