E scouting for bears

[Ac04]

Ive been researching and looking at spots online to go and chase bears and hopefully get my first this August, i've been targeting areas about 4000-6000, i’ve been looking for avalanche chutes and meadows and looking at a couple basins that i think could be good, i’m planning to get out this weekend and do some backpacking in the area. My question is if there’s anything else i should be looking for when i’m doing my e scouting is there any certain terrains you find bears in more frequently or am I on the right track with what i'm doing?

North facing slopes. Find the berries, find the bears. Bears can be anywhere, from sea level to the top of the cascades. You're on the right track though, just having boots on the ground and days in the woods, you will find them

Don’t really need to e scout.  Bears are on every mountain and in every valley essentially. Just follow the berries.   Doesn’t really pay to scout for animals in advance because they’ll move as the berries ripen.
