What Oldtimr said. If you are just hoping to see a bear while hunting then taking a stand may not be very productive. Exceptions might be a mast crop or berries. But then you have to hope the bear wanders in range. Most stand hunters use bait stations to increase the odds of seeing bears. (the area as you describe it would be a good place for a bait.)

It might be more effective to keep your eyes open while you hunt for Elk etc. You might get lucky and see one you like.

Good luck this season.
