RE: WHAT TO CARRY ON A MOUNTAIN BLACK BEAR HUNT
i hunt the wnc mountians for bear every year and just use a 30-30 with 150 softpoints and have never had a bear go very far when hit a 270 will be fine when hunting in the mountians try to find a location where two ridges come together and look for signs along the ridges in these areas 9 out of 10 times you will find where they cross and just set up in the area another good way to go would just stalk the valleys (hollars around here) and keep a good eye up these crazy things like to walk about about half way up and along the slope good luck
