i am no expert but i would thing river bottoms on west side pending on area. i was heading up high on wed for a buck and stopped ascending at 5500 ft, was knee deep snow at that elevation. shot one a few hundred feet lower. the berry fields start another few hundred vert up and were covered in probly 3ft plus of snow at 6500ft based on depth at 5500ft. on oct 1 they were pretty much wilted like grapes and done at least where i go. was a early big berry year and the earliest i have seen them be done as well for a while. about this time of year my trail cams always produce busy river bottom bears also the skat i find is full of mushrooms and or fish, yet again pending on area, elevation and the bears liking, good luck.
