Bear diet/food sources in the fall around Tahoe
So I've gone out a couple times this week, once I chose a spot at around 6800' feet to the west along highway 88. Didn't see any bear sign or life. Yesterday I tried going south/east past Markleeville down to 6k, saw some does and old bear sign but no bears. We're supposed to get some snow here... -

Bear diet/food sources in the fall around Tahoe
I was doing some searching on Google Earth last night... unless we're talking about exploring the eastern slope (close to Nevada or Nevada) not too far south of Tahoe, then it looks like I'll be driving west/southwest and looking for areas at lower altitude, probably along highway 88. -

Bear diet/food sources in the fall around Tahoe
Gotcha. Do you think that would be the case maybe 20 to 40 miles South of Tahoe too? And why the eastern slope? The area I've been hunting (that definitely holds bear in the summer) is between 8k and 9.5k elevation. Should I be looking for them down in the valleys that are closer to 7k? Or, am... -

Bear diet/food sources in the fall around Tahoe

Bear diet/food sources in the fall around Tahoe
Wouldn’t manzanitas all be stripped bare and the berries gone this late in the year? Logs, rodents and small animals make sense, but what’s strange is that they seem less responsive to my call in the fall than in the summer. I’d expect them to be less responsive in the summer when they have... -

Bear diet/food sources in the fall around Tahoe
Hey guys, l've been a full time resident at Tahoe since last year. I spent 20 days trying to call in a bear between the archery and general seasons last year. I managed to call in a couple during archery but couldn't get a shot, but then the call seemed to stop working when general season...
