dunno about oats
Here the bears are mainly on shield land not crop land, which I am on the border of
round here its the black berries raspberries blue berries and cottages

In fall when there are no berries they,ll eat grain. Lots of carbs and proteins.

Why do we still have not just a few bears but many? Back in the day we just shot any that hung around homes and presented a danger and oddly we never ran out of bears. It was just much safer until the "do not shoot anything" peeps (mostly female or wanna be) showed up.

Elephants can get drunk by eating fermented fruit, would that be the same for any animal, including bears. I know a few moonshiners that would vacum yards for almost free.

More garbage left arround perhaps. My brother and I were examining bear crap fifty feet from this chair couple of days ago. Full of black berry seed, so's mine.
First bear tracks I ever saw had my brothers run away, they forgot to take me with them, I was about 3, the dog came back for me.

Bears will expand to fit the available range and if they have no food where they are
they will start looking for it wherever they can find it
and they can find it

next thing you know, you are on THEIR land

Since they retreat back into the hills for winter it would seem that the fruit trees are the same as the yearly salmon runs, that time of the year and getting fat is the goal rather than range expansion.
