Where are you wanting to hunt? North, South? Calling the fish and game office for that region will be your best bet. Research the area a bit before you call though.

There are a lot of bears just about everywhere in idaho. just spend the time behind the glass and put in some days and you should find some.

The Frank is a good area too. Lots of bears and i believe those units are a 2 bear unit. snow shouldnt be much of a problem this year.

I've lived in the North Fork area the past two summers. I don't really look for them, but they seem to find me when I'm out hiking or working. People there don't seem to take them very seriously - more of a common novelty. Not very big animals, but easy to find if you put in some time looking. Real nice pretty chocolate coats on most of them. Not very smart.

I LOVE North Fork and the surrounding country. The $1.50 I've spent there a few times for a shower were well worth the price of admission!
