I've skinned for a few camps and shot quite a few bears. Mostly with bow. Personally I don't call them dangerous game.
If you want a tip, find the preferred food source in the area and than check for sign.
Bears seem to visit the same areas while a source lasts.
Check your berries, mast, etc but you find the food you're way ahead.
Bears by nature die incredibly easy when hit right. When hit bad you almost never find them, even with a tracking dog.
Oh yea and they taste awesome so good luck!

I have a pretty extensive history with black bears from Canada to Georgia, and I dont have any concern about being injured by one, wounded or otherwise. It does happen, but when you consider the millions upon millions of bear/human encounters that happen every year, it just seems silly to me to worry about them much. I carry a fixed blade buck knife on my belt. I guess if it ever gets bad, Ill go down like Trystan.

As far as killing them, they die real easy when double lunged but are incredibly hard to find otherwise. Little ones seem to be like deer and die real easy no matter where but once they hit the 150lb area, they get a lot tougher. Their bones are much thicker than a deer's and they bleed a lot less. Ive killed several that were double lunged that didnt leave a drop of blood on the ground. Just followed the death moan.

I killed one in ga a few years ago. Shot her as she climbed down an oak tree. Arrow entered just in front of her hips and exited through her sternum. With a tree shark mind you, and there was zero blood on the ground.

Theyre truly amazing animals and by far my favorite.

I've shot several and the only time I was concerned was a spring hunt in Manitoba when I had cubs in my tree 4 nights in a row. Keep them below you or you're going to be in trouble when the sow comes back.

I have never hunted a bear, the truth is that I do not know if I would be able to face an animal like this if it were not with virtual reality glasses haha ​​I guess I'll still have to wait a few years to get more practice as I face a bear still seems too risky for me.
