This area is very large, covering Douglas all the way down to Cheyenne. Don’t be discouraged though, you really only need to focus on the northern portion in the Laramie Mountains. It can be difficult to find access to National Forest land in this area. There is a lot of private land scattered throughout the National Forest; there is a chance that landowners will allow you to access their land to hunt bears if you gain their permission first. This area can be deceptive. If you use a maps service, you will see over 50,000 acres of walk-in hunting areas throughout this unit. All of these are currently only set up for access to elk hunting areas, not black bears. There are currently no Grizzlies in this unit.

With a good yearly bear harvest, no Wilderness Areas, and no Grizzlies, this area should not be overlooked.
