elkman Report post Posted February 12, 2007 I was wanting to hunt spring bear this year but didnt draw a tag. I have never hunt San Carlos for bear. What is the best unit. Anyone had any luck recently there. Thanks Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted February 13, 2007 Josh, I had a tag in unit B several years ago. Tags are first come- first serve. I do not know if any are left. Call the tribal office and check. Amanda should be able to give some insight into the better units. I believe A is good also. Doug~RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelney Report post Posted February 13, 2007 I had a B tag about 4 years ago. It was a great but hard hunt. I definitely did not see the number of bears that I see in the Fall. My biggest concern was the weather. Worried that they were still hybernating or if it has been warm, they are out and have been rubbing. I saw a "mohawk" bear that was about an ugly as a bear you would ever see. He was rubbed on both sides and long along the spine giving a mohawk appearance. Anyways, I finally tagged out on a nice bear with a great hide on my last day. Buy a Mountain Lion tag if they do not give one to you if you do go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will check on the tags left over. I am hoping to get one for one of the units. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drummer41st Report post Posted April 25, 2007 Elkman, I just got back from 3 days of hunting bear in San Carlos, did you ever connect on a tag?? I had a great time in Unit C, saw 6 bear but didn't connect. 4 were black, one was chocolate and a cub was rust color (mom was black and big!!). Tough hunt, great scenery, lots of other game so in other words had a great time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The closest one was 13 yards from me at one point. Although he was a little guy. None we good enough to shoot. O well, maybe next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
