I have had my best success on the hottest days. If someone really really wanted to kill a bear I would recommend hunting the hottest day of the week.
My season starts today after work. Missed the best day of the week yesterday when it was 100 lol.

any big changes how to hunt bears in the high heat?

Did some scouting, but waiting for cooler weather. Some of the places I hunt would take too long to get a bear out without it getting way too hot.

The last 2 hours of the day are the best regardless of the temps. If you kill a bear at that time you will be doing your work during the coolest part of the day (after dark).
I have killed a few morning bears but it’s not my favorite time to hunt. I always had a couple West facing slopes for the morning as they were the last to get the sun and the opposite in the evening as those slopes were the first to get the shade.
Now that I live in ID I do all of my bear hunting in the spring😂.

Filled tag #1 of 2024 with this little boar yesterday at 10:23am. 256 yard double-lung shot from my Browning X-Bolt Stalker Long Range 30-06 put him down. This is my 8th Black Bear harvested in my hunting career. Dropped off meat at butcher for Jalapeno and Pepperjack sticks. Time to get a 2nd tag and look for a GIANT. Good luck to everyone as always!
