Default Bears?

Hi all, was wondering if anyone sees many black nears down the burnt timber road? We have a seasonal camp site at elkton valley and my daughter really wants to get one for a rug! Been out there shooting her 22 and getting a bit of firewood but havnt seen, never really looked that hard. Thanks
Darrell

I've seen the odd one but haven't really hunted around BT last few years.Probably just as likely to see grizzlies there as blacks?
Try glassing the big cuts up in the hills east of the FTR/around the gas plant etc.
Good luck to you and your daughter.

There was a dead horse out that way and I watched it for a few days, it never did get a bear on it, that tells me a lot.

Tells me a lot too....
1-you were probably wasting your time on a meat bait too early in season
2-you shouldn't shoot feral horses for bear bait too early in the season 😝🤣😂

It was in the fall... The Ravens found it and made a hell of a racket. I'm sure ant bear innthenarea would wander by
