RE: bear hunting 101
They have a good number of bears (or did two years ago) on the game lands around Cherry Point NC. It seemed that most everybody was running them with dogs though. Still my Dad and I tagged out amidst all the hoopla (just picked an overlooked spot). Lots of low lying swamp land...actually it is probably all swamp land...but the bears were in there and we did manage to get two.
Good luck.
