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.

Critical thinking keeps people from freaking the hell out every time some half baked blogger forgets his meds. Unlike some of you, I do not have TawkethOutOfAnus© syndrome.

Sound advice, thank you sir! This weekend can't come soon enough!
