.270 Report post Posted August 19, 2015 as in hunting for anything, the earlier the better. but don't quit because it gets warm bears tend to eat a bunch, take a nap, take big greasy dump and feed again, then repeat. several times a day. could catch one feeding anytime. check out the oaks and junipers too. they love acorns and juniper berries.

.270 Report post Posted September 2, 2015 the bears will be where the most food is. by october the pears should be done. look for acorns and juniper berries. when i was at the Rancho Neglecto last week i saw a lotta acorns and juniper berries in some places. didn't make it up high but was told by a local cowboy that the raspberries were really plentiful up high. bears will be in them fore sure.

Presmyk Report post Posted September 3, 2015 Juniper berries are same elation as pears where I was hunting so they a still be in there? It would be a nasty long track to get to acorns. What's the longest some one has seen a bear travel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kidso Report post Posted September 3, 2015 I have seen them travel in and out of a mile long canyon and out of view in about 20 minutes. They can go for miles if they want too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.270 Report post Posted September 4, 2015 Az has several kinda pears. the lower elevation ones get big fat and juicy and get ripe about now and will all pop within a few weeks from now. the bears seem like they travel down to them this time of year, and when they're done they will go back up to where the smaller pears are. they don't get as big and sweet, but bears will still get into em. and there is only a couple thousand feet difference in where they grow and the different kinds of pears can be within a few miles of each other. then they get into the acorns and juniper berries. acorns have about as high o' fat content as anything on earth. so do pinons. what folks don't realize, is so do juniper berries. if you look at a juniper berry, it is actually a little cone, real similar to a pine cone and it is full of little nuts. they are real small, probably about what i've heard casey's are like. but they are real high in fat. the bears gorge on acorns and juniper berries to get their hybernation layer built up. from now until the snow flys, they'll be in something fattening. good luck. don't shoot the little ones.

GreyGhost85 Report post Posted September 4, 2015 Bears and lions are probably the most "nomadic" big game animals in our state. they travel a long ways every day. some people say the last place you saw the bear should be the last place you look for him next time 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
