I’m looking to do a spring bear hunt somewhere in NW Montana, May 16-24. My question is, what does a typical day look like?

Do you hike into a drainage and glass there all day?
Do you glass one drainage in the morning/lunch time then go somewhere else for the afternoon?
Do you just drive around and glass as many drainages as possible near roads?

I’m looking to kill any legal bear, I’ve elk hunted in the west before but never for bears. And I plan on truck camping but will be able to backpack hunt as well. Right now I’m trying to e scout south facing burn areas but not sure if that’s the best plan.
