Not the "best" area of the WKs for Grizzlies, fair access by 4x4s and ATVs, plus boots and pack, steep, wet, rugged and bushy.

I know the area well, but, have relatives hunting in the area, so, keep quiet about specifics.

The one issue if you are drawn would be the considerable antipathy to Grizzly hunting by many residents and they have, although mostly "draft dodgers" and their hippy spawn, caused a LOT of trouble in recent decades for hunters. Then, there are a weird group, mostly old, who call themselves "Sinixt" and prate about "their territory" as well as having done some blockades in recent years.

Sooooo, try, but, there are better places in BC, IMHO.

they gived out a high number for that area like 25 so i thought there must be a good population .

Not sure if it's the case here, but tag numbers can increase suddenly to a relatively high number when the harvest objective in a given GB Management Unit hasn't been achieved. A good number of tags doesn't always indicate lots of GBs are present.

High tag numbers generally means poor success

No they are just trying to get one bear harvested that is why its so high and I have hunted this area many times in last 15 years only heard of two bears come out of this zone are 4-17, 4-18 and 4 -19 good luck

Buddy and I pulled 2 boars out of there one year apart. Same year I got mine another fellow got one that's in the bc book.
PM me after the leh is drawn and if you're successful I'll try to help.

Can be many reason for poor success rate or not achieving the intended harvest numbers without high tag numbers. This does not mean it is a poor area especially when it comes to grizz. Lots of low odds high tag number grizz LEH that provide an amazing hunt both numbers and quality.

Maybe they found some caribou in the area?

I never hold my breath on when results are in but I would assume before mid March

I was lucky enough to draw a tag for 417 back in 1999
and was lucky enough to harvest a very nice male that being said 417 is big with a lot of steep and rugged territory for hunting Blackbears and Grizzly :-)

Good luck to all in the draw been 10+years of putting in and NIL lol!
