Moving and Feeding Again

Well I am getting early calls about bear at feeders the first week of September. Well it looks like bears will be denning early, as food is hard to come by. The berries are gone, the apple crop is in off year, as are beech nuts. A bear suddenly coming to feeders this early or late is off a little and hungry looking for winter fat. There is no question there is a lot of bear. For three years record numbers of cubs, poor hunting weather and good food have produced some nice bear. Any predication of harvest numbers yet for anyone? I was thinking 3,200.
