thickets for bears

[Kola16]

All of the bears I have seen have been in a thick forest and are hard to get a shot at. By the time I get the crosshairs on him he runs to the next county. I have only seen a bear in the open once and it was a young bear getting a drink from a lake. Do bears drink a lot and then head into the thickets, and is there a specific time that they do that? And do bears follow a specific pattern every day?

Man I was in some really thick stuff this weekend.  Chest high and about 5 feet of visibility.  You ever walk through an area and think to yourself, this is a really bad idea?

You mean like a time last year I was literally crawling through a tunnel (game trail) in the thick brush with bear sign everywhere? I couldn't decide whether to watch my front of back!

Tacoma, South Seattle, South Chicago, Washington D.C., NYC.......

I took a short cut to a small lake to fish for trout in Alaska once.  Managed to cut through a huge patch of blueberries...seemed okay until I found a freshly killed caribou.
