[QUOTE="bscman, post: 2825283, member: 126797"] I imagine western Oregon fall near hunting is similar to western Washington hunting. Success rates are low here as well, but it's mainly due to low tag cost. People buy the tag "just in case" while they deer hunt. I run across few hunters targeting bear, and next to none after the first three weeks of the season. We usually see 15-20 during the season and harvest one, or two. Definitely find the berries. Keep track of their ripeness and follow them up the mountain as they progress. Find the food source AND sign and sit on it. It's thick and steep country and they're stealthy. They just appear out of thin air. I've glasses patches that are maybe 100yds x 200yds across for HOURS, then all the sudden a big boar shows up smack dab in the middle leaving you scratching your head. The biggest frustration for fall bear in the western cascades is getting a shot. You'll play peek-a-boo sometimes for and hour or two as they feed while you wait for a clear shot at a good angle!
