huntnnw:
August and the first half of September are the best months to spot bears, lotta the berries are on your more open faces on the south and west sides which then makes bears more visible and to be able to successfully stalk or glass them up. As those berries dry up the bears leave those open areas and get into the timber or the fruit trees and they begin to be significantly harder to hunt come October. Do not shoot the shoulders on a bear or see you later there is nothing vital there. Bears lungs and heart are further back than on a deer and elk. I urge people to shoot broadside only as a 1 lung hit bear you might as well not even look as it could wonder days. I have either killed or been apart of close to 40 bear kills and Ill tell you right now not a single bear that was shot broadside thru the lungs went further than 100 yards even archery kills are piled up in under 100. The bears I saw lost were shot to far forward or angled shots where a lung was hit and the other wasn't. Don't shoot an bear in the evening with the thought of recovering in the morning, need to find it that night and that time of year most likely the meat is ruined by the time you find them in the am
