Bears in Region 5 (near 100 mile)

[o2fish2day]

Well I am heading up to my cabin near Clinton for 10 days and was thinking to myself - darn the luck, everything is over. I noticed however you can hunt bears until June 30th in region 5 which is about a 1 hour drive.

Now I am thinking of going for a day trip but don't know the area at all except for the Crooked Lake FSR which appears to have a moterized vehicle access restriction. I would really appreciate it if someone would tell me where I shoud hunt bears (ie: what FSR) in the 5-1, 5-2, 5-15 areas. The closer to Clinton the better.

Appreciate all the help. PM me if you don't want to publish your hot spots.

Thanks in advace

Also would like to know of a Butcher + Phone # in 100 mile. (perhaps I am just being an optimist!)

hey o2sfish

A buddy at worlk was up in 5-1 fishing at meridian lake off the Wavey lk FSR 2 weeks ago- north of hwy 24

Said he saw 3 bears a day, all different clours.

By the end of the week, 2 to 3 were hanging around their camp 50 meters away raising their noses at all the smells.

He's not a hunter but said he could have shot 6 if he was

best of luck

I should have guessed.....

So if I can make it up there next weekend, do I bring the fishing rod or the rifle

If you want to get boring bring both.

LOL - Bring your rod. The plan is to fish but if you wanna bring you rifle...I could always be swayed...
