I'm going to get this out of the way up front. I know absolutely nothing about bear hunting. Friend put me in with him for a New Mexico rifle hunt and we got drawn. I bought lottery tickets and won $4.00.

We'll be hunting mid-august. The rifle I'll be taking is a 308 Browning BLR shooting Hornady Superformance 165's. The unit is around Ruidosa. At that time of year, where would I need to start looking and what are they eating that time of year?

They like campers.....

IDK your area but I was in the Gila and saw a lot of bears. Unfortunately I had an elk tag and bear was not open ....
Saw a beautiful cinnamon I could have killed with a rock, oh well. Good luck
