Hi,
With acorns bears will be eating them. Bears are omnivores and eat almost anything. If there are blackberries or some other berry in the area, they will be concentrating there for the most part. Bears have a very wide range, and in the northeast in most places they have a 28-30 day circle of territory they cover that can be 100 miles or more. That means if you see a bear, you won' t see the same bear again for almost a month. There are exeptions:

When there' s a large concentration of food in one spot.

When they are denning up, or are in their dens for the winter.

They don' t eat laural.

If the cover' s that thick, find a food source and stay put. If you make noise you' ll just push them out ahead of you and you' ll never see them. With bears you just have to be in the right place at the right time. Hope that helps.

Good Luck this season!
