Default Hunting bear for the first time

I've been hunting deer for a long time, but in the last ten years the black bear population has really rose here in SW PA. Me and a few friends have decided that we're gonna give it a go next week when season opens. We arent allowed to bait here, so whats the best tactic for hunting black bear? There four of us so we might be able to do a few small drives. Do any particular calls work well? Thanks for any help.

BTW - I'll be using a .35 remington and they'll be using a .300 weatherby and two 30-06's. im sure of it that we have enough fire power to take down a black bear.
