Lower russian lake

[Akyinzy]

Will be headed back for a few days after bears. Going to try this weekend. Anyone else had any luck up past the lake?


Thanks

It's very steep, not too thick on the trail side. I always see bears on the other side unfortunately!

I suspect you'll have a chance at one if your up to it physically and spend a few days back there.

I was in there last weekend. Trail is clear and snow is way up high. Seen a sow with 2 lil ones down near trailhead. Saw a black bear up high on the other side. I only spent part of the day down there. It was my first time in there, nice area and there are bears there I just have other hike ins that are better for stalks where I'll be for this weekend. Good luck

Just got back in 2 days no bears, a lot of hunters. Saw around 20 sheep.

I was giving some advice to a guy I know who wants to do a walk-in brown bear hunt. I told him to find an area he thought might look good, and then do a forum search here. If he didn't get any "hits" it was probably a good spot. In all seriousness, as soon as a place gets "popular" and lots of mentions here you can pretty much kiss it off.

The mention of "a lot of hunters this weekend" may have been due to the great weather or the
