AkshooterI know where your coming from .22 rimfire, in unit 17 the bear sightings go way down from the begining of sept till the end of that month.
It's funny how just going to the south side of the lake where Waterrat lives it extends the occurance of bear sightings by a month or so (wich is good because that bear season dos'nt start till 10/1).
When I am on Kodiak island in the late season I have seen many bears in Dec and I would say that some of these bears spend very little time in their den.
I think what you are expireancing with your bears is because you are in the interior.
