The town dump. Lol.

North, south, east. Serious.

Okay. Thanks all!

Timesink has a good answer. Seen bears in all those directions, and don't think I have even seen a black bear track west of there. Haven't spent a lot of days west hunting, but should of been tracks around when I was in there if there were much for bears.

I wasn't joking, literally everywhere except west holds excellent populations, get a bit off the highway and start glassing south facing slopes. I've heard but not petsonally experienced that north east of GC is the excellent.

Last time I worked I'm grande cache in the spring we would see them everywhere. We would go to the dump after work to watch them. So I was giving an answer to the OP. thanx

I have seen 1 black bear in the Wilmore in 20 years of hunting there and very few tracks. I see 2 grizzly a week but no blacks. Definitely stick to the foothills to the E.

Think a Grizzly actually attacked someone right in the town, a few years ago.

Drive up the beaver dam road enough times and you'll kill a black bear

I hunted on the east side of the Smokey (between the 734 trunk road and the river) in late May 2012. We saw a good deal of bear sign and a few small bears but nothing worth shooting.

Brian is probably correct that you will find a few blacks as he knows area well. However Grande Cache area has most grizzly in the province. You probably need to go east of forestry trunk road to find black bear not harrased/eaten by grizzly.

Huckleberry Tower Road.

Legally kill every darn bear you see up there.

Is that road still open ? Worked up there years ago and thought I'd like to revisit, but on my map looks like it's been closed. No shortage of bears in that neck of the woods.

Yes. The huckleberry tower area used to have alot of blacks and a number of big ones too. Its been awhile for me as well so i also am not sure about the current access condition.

[Brian Bildson]

Just because grizzlies are on the landscape doesn't mean black bears don't exist. I've seen just as many black bears as grizzlies around Grande Cache. Anywhere along the Smoky River around Grande Cache is going to hold black bears. They love the green up on the river slopes.

South West of Grande Cache the number of black bears I've seen compared to Grizzly is definitely lower. But North west down the beaver dam road or up the sheep creek road I've seen more blackies. If you head south of town then east on the ghost or over to the trunk road there area a ton of black bears around.
