Where to Find Black Bear in Unit Diamond Mtn/vernal/bonanza
What UDWR publishes for unit Diamond Mtn/vernal/bonanza 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 Daggett and Uintah counties.
The lines of the unit: Green River, Flaming Gorge Reservoir and Cart Creek
UDWR draws unit Diamond Mtn/vernal/bonanza in Daggett and Uintah counties with a boundary that runs on USFS Trail #025, and on Green River, Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Cart Creek and Uinta Mountains, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. Those features are what you will check against the map all week, and the divides among them are the ones that matter.
High ground inside the line: Marsh Peak, Leidy Peak and Mesa
Named high points inside the unit include Marsh Peak at 12,238 feet, Leidy Peak at 12,029 feet, Mesa at 11,002 feet, Paradise Peak at 10,814 feet and Trout Creek Peak at 10,496 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: Summit Park, Lonesome Park and Hells Kitchen Park
Below them sit Summit Park at 10,414 feet, Lonesome Park at 10,403 feet, Hells Kitchen Park at 10,236 feet, Big Park at 10,233 feet and Corral Park at 10,138 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past on the way to somewhere steeper. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.
Water: Bear Seep, East End Spring and June Spring
Named sources include Bear Seep, East End Spring, June Spring, Ashley Spring, Barker Spring and Paradise 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.

Bear Success Rates
UDWR's 2023 harvest estimates carry no black bear row for unit Diamond Mtn/vernal/bonanza that we can read back to this unit on its own.

UDWR's current harvest estimates are the place to check before you apply.

Open in Draw Odds EngineUDWR's 2024 draw recap for black bear in unit Diamond Mtn/vernal/bonanza, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:

- Rifle, Limited Entry, Either Sex, nonresident: 9 applicants for 1 licences, 11.1% drawn, 9 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.
