Younghunter Report post Posted August 15, 2011 Where do bears go during the day? Has anyone ever seen a bedded bear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted August 15, 2011 I read a study earlier today that talked about bedding Bears. The survey said a majority of Bears will bed within a 0.4 KM or water and all bears will bed within 0.8 KM of water. The study said most Bear's will bed in an area that has less than a 5m visible area surrounding the bedding area. It also said that most Bears will bed on the up hill side of the tree and they will usually bed above the most dominant tree on the slope. I've never seen a bedded Bear, but the info in the study does fit with some of the thing's I have seen in the field. Adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NitroAZ Report post Posted August 15, 2011 Just depends, I've watched them bed under mesquites, oaks, rock ledges, I've even seen a couple bed out in the wide opening on large boulders. For the most part they will find a dark cool spot which offers plenty of shade through the day most likely not too far from whatever food source they happen to be feeding on.
