The all have like a "Home Range" And they stay in that area until they are pushed out by Humans or a Bigger Bruin!! They are scavengers so they are always on the prowl. That's why you may seem them one day and then not the next. They are not like a big mulie.. They stay in a small area.. Which I call there safe zone. And they won't usually leave there safe zone unless they get pushed out. A bruin does have a larger "Home Range" then a deer does. But it is all the same. The bears that you will see most of, are the ones that just left mommy. Because they are looking to establishe there own "Home Range"...But I'll bet you dollars for doughnuts, they will still be around your area.. Just give them a day or two. And if Legal set up a couple small bear bait stations! Keep them in your area! Good luck!
