You can't pattern bears like that in the fall. They're spending 20 hours a day looking for food to fatten up for winter.

They might work a 30 mile area. You're best bet is to find their natural food, and stake it out. (not for the whole hunt) You can also sit on a gut pile. Colorado doesn't consider that baiting as long as you don't move it from the kill site.

Lastly, as I recommended. You can call them. Be careful doing this alone. It usually attracts the big boars, and they can come charging in pretty fast. They can also sneak in your blind side. You'll be surprised how quiet a bear can be when it wants to.
