Wyoming Bear -

[DreaminofMT6X6s]

I'm a resident in Cheyenne and this will be my first year bear & elk hunting. Where's a good spot to start looking for Spring bear with the understanding that baiting may seriously impact my odds. I have no interest in baiting, but thought I'd do some hiking and glassing on BLM/NF. Thanks.

If you have no interest in baiting then you'll most likely just be going for a long hike.

Green grass and high in the rough stuff.

Took me two trips to kill a book bear after making up my mind that I was going to do it. Probably really lucky but you won't do it if don't get out and try.

Sierra Madre has lots of bears. South Slopes where grass is growing. Snow shoes can help. Easier if there is snow but the south sides are melted off.

Welp, Sierra Madres is a start. Thanks Laxwyo! It'll be good to just see the area for archery elk season anyway.

Why aren't you interested in baiting?

Maybe he doesn't have bee boxes in his field or know the local honey grower to bait the Pooh bears, lol. Just kidding.
