Too late for a bear?

Ok guys,,,with it being Dec. 20th and 20" of fresh snow on the ground,,,do i have any chance at filling my bear tag? I really want to go to the GWNF and see if i can cut a track or just be lucky enough to find a boar stumbling around lookin to make a bed. It is my belief that the sows will be denned up but the boars should still be moving about,,,is this correct or am i totally off base with my opinions? Thanks for any help

they'll lay up for few days but they'll walk when the weather warms up. Get out there and cut a track, stay on it, you've got a chance yet. the good part about hunting them under these conditions is that they won't travel far in snow.
