Im going to be hunting Island park unit in Idaho. combo of tree stand and some hiking calling. Its a fun unit with decent elk numbers and they're somewhat amenable calling. Ive hunted it before with buddies but they didn't draw this year so hunting alone

I have an area fairly well figured out. Anyway anyone else hunting this unit? Ill be hunting last two weeks of season. Be kind of nice to have a few contacts in the unit due to the high numbers of bear. lol.

Any bear encounters this last year? I somehow got lucky enough to get an "A" tag in the non-resident drawing this year and will be hunting it for the first time. I am from wyoming so not new to grizz, but significantly less where I hunt. If you are hunting it again this year i would be glad to exchange some info for packing, ect

Yep, I have seen the studies every year warning to stay out of the area. I have also saw signs on trailheads warning of recent aggressive Grizzly activity, one even indicated a bowhunter had been charged. They are no joke.

I’m not scared of Alaska bears, but there’s ones are different. Start hunting them and they’ll change their attitude, until then nope.
