So ive gone to all the places that we have done good earlier in the year where the acorns were and now that the acorns are gone, were having some trouble finding the bears. So what do they feed on next after the acorns have dropped??? Because the bears shouldnt be going into hybernation yet.

Mike,
You prob already know but... bugs, bugs, and more bugs from my expierence... I start looking for overturned rocks on ridges and also around fresh wood cut areas.. As those wood haulers start tearing up and rattling trees those bugs start to come to the surface...for a nice easy meal, and a nice source of protein before winter..

Nope, I meant Beech; As in the nut/burr bearing tree. IDK if you have it there. It ussually hangs later than anything else.

I guess thats why a hillbilly shouldn't be telling guys in New Mexico where to find Bear

Hopefully we have more than just an old mailpouch full this fall. good luck to ya.
