What would be the best approach to hunting adirondack black bears?

Going to Northern New York w/ party of 6. Have 4 guys with rifles, two w/ shotguns. 8th lake area, early season hunt. We have a week so even time consuming techniques are welcome. Thanx. NO PETA PEOPLE ANSWERS PLEASE AS THE WORD KILL ONLY APPEARS ONCE.What would be the best approach to hunting adirondack black bears?
this time of year bears are mostly feeding on grass and berries. Look for them on roads that are not very traveled where grass was planted to prevent erosion, in berry patches, or on south facing slopes. The look alot like stumps and you will need a good set of optics. Game calls will work this time of year also as no bear will pass on an easy meal. A fawn distress call is my favorite. The hard part about calling bears is not shooting other game animals that beat the bear to your set. In other words if you really want a bear don't shoot the cougar that shows up first. The lion will spot you and leave. Keep calling and be patient all kinds of neat stuff comes crawling out of the woods for a fawn distress call. Primos is my favorite brand of calls. Follow the instructions on the box. Please be very carefull as bear hunting is very exiting and dangerous also. If you shoot a bear and it runs into the brush do not go running off through the brush after it. Wait at least a 1/2 hour and proceed real slow. The last thing you want to do is step on a pissed off wounded bear. Sounds stupid but with the sun going down in thick brush it is a possibility. So have fun be safe and good hunting.What would be the best approach to hunting adirondack black bears?
OMG you are a horrible person willing to take a cubs mother or father j/k idk really know much about hunting bears but i recommend that u also carry and bottle of pepper spray especially if you hunting from a tree and if cubs make an attempt to climb the tree you hunting from dont be afraid to kick them back down it but i would use a tree stand on a well traveled path possibly near a water source

I suggest baiting them, that is my preferred method for hunting black bears.
YUCK DISGUSTING EVIL PERSON WHY DO IT
Baiting is for lazy people who dont know how to hunt.





Talk with local hunters and find out the current food source. Once you know the food, all you have to do is find it and one will be along.
