I would be sitting on that spot early and late, although you never know, saw  bear out today in a meadow  at 11 AM when it was 75 degrees!

i ran into 3 in 24 hours all in 90 degree temp mid dayish.  see em movin around all hours of the day.  had one following me down a draw yesterday in the middle of the day, stalking me i guess.  it took a dump right in my foot prints as it was following me

Haha. Crazy story. he's lucky it isn't August 1st yet. hopefully the bears will make an appearance for me. Just out of curiosity what elevation were you seeing these bears at?

that was in an area with a sept 1st opener, not aug 1st.  elevation between 3500 - 5000 feet.  also i should probably clarify, every one of them in that heat was right by a stream

I've got a creek about a 1/4 mile below the clearcut where I've found the sign.
