Black Bear Hunting in Unit Cache/Ogden
Unit Cache/Ogden lies in Box Elder, Cache, Morgan, Rich and Weber counties. UDWR publishes no per-unit black bear success figure we can verify for this unit. Most of the unit is private, so access comes before tactics. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.
Where to Find Black Bear in Unit Cache/Ogden
What UDWR publishes for unit Cache/Ogden is a boundary, not a black bear map. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Box Elder, Cache, Morgan, Rich and Weber counties.
What bounds unit Cache/Ogden
UDWR draws unit Cache/Ogden in Box Elder, Cache, Morgan, Rich and Weber counties with a boundary that runs on I-15 and I-84, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. Its value is practical — those are the features you will navigate by, and the ridges that separate one day's country from another's.
High ground inside the line: Naomi Peak, Bear River Range and Doubletop Mountain
Named high points inside the unit include Naomi Peak at 9,953 feet, Bear River Range at 9,953 feet, Doubletop Mountain at 9,838 feet, Cherry Peak at 9,744 feet and Willard Peak at 9,739 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Bears follow food, which in early autumn means oakbrush, chokecherry and serviceberry on south slopes.
Holding ground: Arbs Basin, Stewart Pass and Spencer Basin
Below them sit Arbs Basin at 8,364 feet, Stewart Pass at 8,363 feet, Spencer Basin at 8,345 feet, Swan Flat at 8,328 feet and Swan Flat at 8,314 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past on the way to somewhere steeper. Reaching the edge of one before light beats reaching its middle at noon.
Water: Beaver Spring, Canteen Spring and Cottonwood Spring
Named sources include Beaver Spring, Canteen Spring, Cottonwood Spring, Worm Fence Spring, Conifer Box Spring and Temple Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.
Before you apply: who owns this unit
A UDWR permit does not authorise hunting on Native American trust lands, on a CWMU without that CWMU's own permit, or on National Park land, and written permission is required to hunt private land.

Black Bear Success Rates
UDWR's 2023 harvest estimates carry no black bear row for unit Cache/Ogden that we can read back to this unit on its own. Where the agency reports a unit inside a grouping, or prints a table our parser cannot resolve to a single column, we leave the number out rather than publish a statewide average as though it had been measured here. UDWR's current harvest estimates are the place to check before you apply.
Black Bear Draw Odds

Open in Draw Odds EngineUDWR's 2024 draw recap for black bear in unit Cache/Ogden, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:
- Rifle, Limited Entry, Either Sex, resident: 28 applicants for 2 licences, 7.1% drawn, 6 bonus points needed
Utah draws on bonus points in a weighted random draw, not in point order, so the figure above is what it happened to take that year rather than a threshold you can plan to reach. More points buy more chances, never a turn. These are the figures as published in UDWR's own draw recap; we have not yet checked them back against the agency row by row, so confirm the hunt you mean to apply for before you count on a number.
