Looking for Black bear hunting tips in north Ga.

They don’t really hibernate down here, doesn’t get/stay cold enough. But if you’re going to kill one you’re best chance is before Thanksgiving. They seem to slow down after that. Hang an open can of sardines from a limb about 8 feet high and put a trail camera up to get some pics. Be sure to spray your camera down with scent killer and wear rubber gloves when you put it up, they like to destroy the cameras if they smell them. Very hard to try to pattern them without the ability to bait though. I hate the dang things, they’re all over my hunting property. I really don’t have any desire to shoot one though.

I'll come take a couple off your property if you want. I've been out hunting/stalking one no less than 4x a week this year. I stick to the mountain ridges and pay attention to the thermals...

I have hunted them a few times over the years and I live in the Mountains. Best advice this old man can give you....Make sure you can run faster than those you hunt with..

They can't outrun you if they have an injured leg.

I don't know about that, 3 leg drive is more than 2 leg drive.

Tim Treadwell has a documentary about bears. He loves the bears

Nope. Read my quote.

Thought I would share these pics with y’all. This 400 pounder was killed about 1/2 mile from my place, in the woods behind the Steel Buffalo Butchery by one of their crew.

They used a sledding tube as you can see.
According to Lisa and Joe (owners of the butchery) it worked pretty well.
