Hi All,
with roughly 40-50 hours scouting mostly on foot and still hunting since late august, I have seen very limited bear sign, and none on my three trail cams since mid august.
I believe the general rule is that they are up high on north slopes eating berries, but I haven’t glassed any either.
I am wondering if the bad berry year due to heat, and the wildfires have pushed them somewhere else. More down in ag fields / vineyards / orchards?
really hoping to try my hand at rendering bear fat this fall.
many advice or insight from fellow region 8 HBCers is appreciated.
