They will be cruising looking for food about 20 hours a day. If you find sign they should be back around. Look for remaining berries along the edges of cuts and find some nasty spots that the deer hunters haven't been in.
Good luck.

Try the Finney-cumberland mainline, upper and lower.  All the bear I have seen in the last few years have been on south and or southwest facing slopes.  And ditto what billythekidrock said.  Big bear seen last week accross the river from highway 20 on the river bank at the 101 fishing hole.
