Early snow effect on bears

[MichaelO]

I'm out in Colorado right now for muzzleloader elk and picked up a bear tag. Anyone got any idea what the bears might do with this freak early season snow storm? Will they den up early, or move to lower elevation?

I took this pic yesterday morning on my way out of the elk woods. It only snowed 4” where I was but the bears were out and about as it was melting.

They’ll be out in the mountains.

Snowed 6” a few days back. This guy snuck up on me a few hours ago, granted at a lower elevation.They’re still out.
