Where to Find Black Bear in Unit Wasatch Mtns, Avintaquin/currant Creek
UDWR draws an exact line around unit Wasatch Mtns, Avintaquin/currant Creek 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 Carbon, Duchesne, Utah and Wasatch counties.
The lines of the unit: Lake Creek, Co-op Creek and Soldier Creek Dam
UDWR draws unit Wasatch Mtns, Avintaquin/currant Creek in Carbon, Duchesne, Utah and Wasatch counties with a boundary that runs on USFS Road 054, USFS Road 083, USFS Road 82 and USFS Road 081, and on Lake Creek, Co-op Creek, Soldier Creek Dam and Strawberry River, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. 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: Red Creek Mountain, Strawberry Peak and Strawberry North Summit
Named high points inside the unit include Red Creek Mountain at 10,582 feet, Strawberry Peak at 10,314 feet, Strawberry North Summit at 10,263 feet, Twelve Hundred Dollar Ridge at 10,206 feet and Trout Creek Ridge at 10,163 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: Low Pass, Scotty Basin and Buck Basin
Below them sit Low Pass at 9,345 feet, Scotty Basin at 9,328 feet, Buck Basin at 9,326 feet, Bobby Duke Pass at 9,315 feet and Sandstone Basin at 9,285 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Work out which of them you can see from one position before you pick a camp.
Water: Split Spring, Red Cedar Spring and Little Mud Spring
Named sources include Split Spring, Red Cedar Spring, Little Mud Spring, Trail Ridge Spring, Mud Spring and Rock 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 Wasatch Mtns, Avintaquin/currant Creek, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:
- Rifle, Limited Entry, Either Sex, resident: 217 applicants for 7 licences, 3.2% drawn, 13 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.
