When you say next month, are you meaning September?
Non-residents are treated fine from what I see. Lots of non-residents travel to the area for rafting, hunting, fishing, etc... and the locals businesses like it.
There was a bumper huckleberry crop this year so if you go early Sept, you might find bears still working the berries at higher elevations. Normally, bears will drop in elevation in early fall to get to black berries in the creek bottoms and hit some abandoned fruit trees from the homestead era.
You might throw in a .22 or shotgun for grouse.
