Latest successful bear hunt?

[Cervid]

When is the latest in the year that you’ve successfully hunted black bear (and what state was that in)? Any advice on tactics for those late season bears?

Ran into one during deer season and had a bear tag, if that counts.

Our season is closed, but one walked by me yesterday.

Which state was that in?

My last one was 2 years ago, mid November.
Mendocino County, California. I'm still trying for one this year, the season closes late December or when the take quota is met. I'm at 2500 feet.
They are still actively moving around feeding on the plentiful acorns and manzanita berries.

Never had the chance but really want to go!
