Where to Find Black Bear in Unit Kamas/north Slope, Summit
UDWR draws an exact line around unit Kamas/north Slope, Summit and says nothing about where the black bear stand inside it. Every place named below sits inside the unit line. Which of them holds animals in your season is for you to find out. The unit lies in Summit and Wasatch counties.
The lines of the unit: Weber Canyon, Weber River and Pass Lake
UDWR draws unit Kamas/north Slope, Summit in Summit and Wasatch counties with a boundary that runs on I-80, and on Weber Canyon, Weber River, Pass Lake and Provo River, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. 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: Gilbert Peak, Mount Powell and Tokewanna Peak
Named high points inside the unit include Gilbert Peak at 13,452 feet, Mount Powell at 13,125 feet, Tokewanna Peak at 13,111 feet, South Burro Peak at 12,719 feet and Lamotte Peak at 12,702 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: Cataract Basin, Bear Park and Bear Flat
Below them sit Cataract Basin at 10,552 feet, Bear Park at 10,526 feet, Bear Flat at 10,520 feet, Amethyst Basin at 10,432 feet and Deadman Pass at 10,419 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.
Water: Mud Springs and Homer Spring
Named sources include Mud Springs and Homer 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.

Open in Draw Odds EngineUDWR's 2024 draw recap for black bear in unit Kamas/north Slope, Summit, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:
- Rifle, Limited Entry, Either Sex, resident: 30 applicants for 5 licences, 16.7% drawn, 7 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.
