The hotter the better as long as I have shade to sit in and remember the bug spray. All the bear I have seen have been on sunny days.
Last year I seen more bear the first week of November eating salal berries on sunny days than I did all summer in the blueberry fields regardless of weather.
In reality though it came down to finding that last patch of salal berries. I hunted the entire canyon for 2 weeks and never seen a bear anywhere except on that 200 square yards of ripe salal berries. But they were there every day as soon as the hill side got shaded from the sun.

In my bear spot I see them all day long. They eat all the way to where they are headed. When they get tired they lay down right there. Then back up and eating again. From first light to last light.

I voted evening but I think it's simply because i'm able to hunt evenings property 4 to 1 vs mornings.  I've shot bears both morning and evening.

I said evening but I have shot them mid morning also. I've seen them from daylight to dark but most are between 8 am and 6 pm.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!
