Berries still in the 2500-3000 foot range. Most bears and bear sign i saw was in the 2,000 ft range and low flats. I would walk the logging roads and use my bionoculars alot. My area was no where near as dry as I thought it would be. Just hang on lower elevation, find a good water source and hunt near that. Keep wind in your favor, you shold be in buisness. Bear were down near the water where I hunt, alot of grasses in the poo right now. I think fresh green grasses are a huge part of there diet this fall.
