Big Game Hunting > Bear Hunting
Should I come back or find someplace else?

Looking for suggestions overall, but this area had me interested. About 4k feet. Pretty steep angle. Unripe Berries in the middle of the chute (highlighted). North facing THICK cover 250-300 yards to either side stream at the bottom. Will a bear venture out to the middle for these berries. Saw no scat or any sign.
Over 3 days Son and I went out and put about 15 miles on our feet and 50 + on the truck and saw 0 bears. We found ripe berries at 2500 ft in the dark woods and not yet ripe berries higher in the sun. Looked at avy chutes, and a couple old burns nothing the seemed to be full of snow/tobacco brush not berries. Am I looking I the wrong places?
I’ve always heard find the berries find the bears. Are there certain areas slopes angle / direction/ elevation that carry more berries? Hints for google earth / onx to find them?
Jonathan_S:
You say they're unripe? There is your answer. A bear doesn't need to walk a berry patch to see if it's ripe, they can walk a mile downwind and do that
jhouckwsu:
I meant in a couple weeks when the season opens. My guess is they will be ripe then.

I wouldn't go back to that spot myself. If a bear does hit those berries it'll maybe take a day to clean em out and move on.
pd:
Cool spot! No ideas for you, but good luck, and don't coug it!
