Snake River, Oregon Spring Bear Hunt

Myself and 2 buddies are heading out that way end of April for a Speing Bear. I haven’t yet started to dig into onX yet to really nail down a ridge or two. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
 
I am coming to Oregon April 1 and want to know if I can get a black bear tag OTC? Non-res with my hunting license already in my pocket but I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get a bear tag online... #Frustrated. Unit 19 is our destination if that helps! Thanks
 
Pretty sure the spring bear in the country is limited permit. It's an OTC tag in the fall. We saw a few GIANT bears in there last fall while bowhunting elk. I saw one, in an unnamed place, that I think was a pretty legit 400+ pound bear.
 
Oregon spring bear is controlled draw only except for SW Oregon which is first come first serve for 4400 OTC tags. Application deadline is Feb 10th

Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing.

I was in the neighboring unit (still the Oregon side) last year with a tag holder. Gorgeous country and big bears!
 
Fun stuff, I've pack a fair number out of there and it's definitely steeper than the pics show!
