I just got my tags and renewed my lease on my hunting land ($200/ year for 200 acres). I saw a 300+ pound black bear in the spring and would like to get him. Because I have never hunted black bear before, even with a rifle, I want to make sure I am doing this right. So, I have a few questions:

How far away should I set the bait? What kind of bait should I use? Any other tips and tricks or hunting black bear.
