Bear in 1st Rifle Season

[MtnMike2]

What do you think the chances are of there being bear out and about during 1st rifle season (elk only) in NW CO (GMU 441, 301, 3)?
Dan says a cold front is coming in up there, but I think it's been pretty mild up until now.
Reason for the question is that I'll be hunting elk up there (can't wait) and wondering whether it might be worthwhile to get a bear tag.
