You need to walk through the cave to find the bears. It, for some reason, took me a bit to figure it out. The cave entrance is across the river from the Nesingwary camp.
PS - I found it very unhelpful that the only comments on here at this time were youtube links to walkthroughs. If I wanted to watch a video on how to do it, I would look for that first. Please consider posting those at the end of a more helpful comment instead of it being your whole comment. Thanks.

The way uphill begins at 37.96, 48.38
First bears at the left river bank at 36.66, 45.70
On both river banks actually
What fooled me for long is that you don't see the exit on the map (in the cave). Cross the bridge straight ahead and you will see the exit.

What to do
Description
They say a single hair from the back of a bristlefur bear is sharp enough to cut a dwarf's beard. But if the fur doesn't kill ya, the maul will. Some lesser hunters have been a meal for those bears. Show me you're more than a snack and bring me back a few of those bristlefur pelts.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Hunter at Heart
Addie's one heck of a writer, but I've never seen her hold a rifle. She's keen on learning how to hunt, but who's ever heard of a gnome hunter? You seem to have a knack dealin' with amateurs, so maybe you'd be willin' to let the gnome tag along on a hunt?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lion Stalkin'
The hills are crawlin' with lions that stalk their prey from afar. These big cats will pounce at anything that catches their eye, including a <race>. While most would fall to such a formidable predator, anyone in my huntin' party would be able to best those beasts.
