How high, How low?

I'm gonna try the rivers edge and what berries I can find, should be a lil more tricky now that the snow is falling...

Not tricky at all... Late October and November are the best bear months in my book. The hides are the best and the meat is sweet with all those blueberries consumed.  I prefer the high country right around/just below the snow line to find bears. Right now they'll eat just about anything. If you see scat, disect it to see what they've been eating. Grouse feathers don't digest very well. Grasses, seeds from berries. Know what seeds are from what berries. Fur.... The color and length of fur in a stool will tell you whether he's been eating Pika, Marmot, Deer or Coyote. With that information you can tell the range of that particular bear depending on where you find the scat. Find the food. You'll run in to bears.
