I'm no bear expert, but I have heard that a bears coat doesn't really prime up outside the den. Which is not to say it can't be nice, but it's not going to be spring-nice. But it will taste better.
I can say that by October they are few and far between unless you are in an area with some really late berries or unharvested oats and no furry government unicorns (grizzlies).
