Where to Find Black Bear in Unit Manti South/san Rafael North
UDWR's material on unit Manti South/san Rafael North stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its black bear live. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Carbon, Emery and Sevier counties.
What bounds unit Manti South/san Rafael North
UDWR has unit Manti South/san Rafael North Boundary begins at SR-10 and SR-31 in Huntington; north on SR-10 to SR-6 at Price; east and south on US-6 to I-70; west on I-70 to US-89 near Salina; north on US-89 to SR-31; southeast on SR-31 to SR-10 in Huntington. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. 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: South Tent Mountain, North Tent Mountain and Lowry Top
Named high points inside the unit include South Tent Mountain at 11,249 feet, North Tent Mountain at 11,211 feet, Lowry Top at 11,137 feet, Heliotrope Mountain at 11,125 feet and Swasey Ridge at 10,985 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: Red Pine Cove, Twelvemile Flat and Jolleys Hole
Below them sit Red Pine Cove at 10,207 feet, Twelvemile Flat at 10,102 feet, Jolleys Hole at 10,009 feet, Big Horseshoe at 9,997 feet and Philadelphia Flat at 9,978 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: Johnson Spring, Good Water Spring and Dripping Spring
Named sources include Johnson Spring, Good Water Spring, Dripping Spring, Pine Spring, Mud Spring and Stinking 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.

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.
