Couldn’t agree more. If you’re in Calgary and want to minimize wasted time, make the drive north. You can drive 4-5 hours north, see a bunch of bears, harvest one and drive down the next day. Or you can spend every weekend driving and hiking the k-country areas without seeing much at all.
We just got back from a weekend in wmu350 (we live in Airdrie). 5 of us took 6 bears, and we probably saw 30-35 of them in the course of the weekend (we easily could have taken 2 each) None of them were huge, but we had a great guys weekend, and my 12-year old took his first big game animal!
Definitely worth the drive.
