Can't count how many times I've seen a bear out in the sun munching away on a patch of grass and then I've seen him in the exact same spot around the exact same time the following day. If you see one and he buggers off, go back and watch from a distance and there's a good chance you'll have another opportunity. I wish deer were that habitual during open season.
I shall be following this
Remi Warren's Cutting The Distance podcast has some spot n stalk tips

The newest episode is part 1 of spring bear tips
Another thing. Sort of covered above already. If you see a bear feeding in a certain area and can’t get at him that day, go back tomorrow he’ll probably still be there. Once they find a good food source they tend to stay on it for a while. Try not to spook them if you cannot get close enough for a shot just wait and go back tomorrow.
Gonna be a lot of bear taken this year....I'm gettin' outta Dodge and doin' some huntin'......
If you can get into a spot where some others may not go like real crappy roads deactivated roads you may find yourself a nice big bear. I shot myself a real fat bear in a spot like that. It looked like a big blop of jello walking down the road. Cruising along real slow and eating along the way. And that was in the spring.
Nothing is like climbing a mountain, and then feeling like you are at the top of the world.
