We went in from the Bear Wallow trail head. Camped close to the guard station and hiked our butts off all over that country. 7 plus days we only saw 3 bucks (the night before the season ended) a few does around a dozen cows 3 bulls and 4 other hunters (on the main trails). I think the wolves and or cougars may have played a factor in the numbers? Next time I will bring a nicer camera and take a lot more pictures.
