Default PA Bear

Hey guys,

I'll be able to hunt bear in Pennsylvania for two days this year. My school schedule is gonna work out and give me the time, so I'm gonna take advantage of it.
I have seen bear 8 different years while deer hunting in the ten years I've hunted. So, I know there are bear in the area. But I always see them on accident. Either they come out on a drive, or I see them while still hunting.
I'll be hunting alone, so no driving. What will be my best chance to get myself a shot at a bear this year? SHould I still hunt both the days? Should I sit mornings and evenings and still hunt in between? Sit all day??
Also, if I should sit, what kind of terrain am I looking for? I have more land than I can cover available to me. VArying from open fields, open woods, thick woods, thick cut outs, deep ravines, creek bottoms, ridgelines.
Like I said, I know bears are in the area, I just do not know how to specifically pattern them. I regularly see tracks and sign, but they don't seem to focus on a specific area like deer do.
Thanks for the help,
-Jake
