Never hunted them there but have seen a few everytime I have been in the WA. Be aware you will run into dog hunters. Hell last spring when I was in there had couple cruise by my campsite on evening. I would bike in 6 or 8 miles with camp gear...leave the bikes on the road on head north into the WA.

Its a good area, honestly you cant go wrong anywhere around there either on national forest etc. don't think that you have to go into a wilderness area to kill a bear here.

True. I actually like the National Forest on the next mountain drainage to the North of the Cranberry Wilderness. Where you live ain't no slouch either!!
