I've been looking for some sort of count or census or estimates on bear density in Idaho to help plan a spring hunt next year. (First time bear hunters, need all the help we can get). I just want to have a better understanding of what general regions have more bears and see how that compares to harvest numbers.
For example, unit 39 has strong harvest numbers, but is that because it actually has more bear numbers than say 33/35/36? Or is it more likely because of size, access, proximity to Boise? I think I know, but I just want to see how it lays out across the state if those numbers are available somewhere.
Also, if any dedicated ID bear experts wouldn't mind me sending some PMs for more specific questions that would be appreciated.
