Catcher,
i've also been thinking of going this year. It's been about 4 years since i've gone. there are lots of Bears up there. Late august early sept. are good times to go. Just find the berry fields and you should have some luck. Don't know if i'll be able to do any scouting or not (doing a house addition so that will take up most of my time this summer). What i always found intersting is i never saw many deer in that area but there seem to be lots of bears. I wish you well, and the scouting will pay off.
