Need help with black bear advice
So today is virgina opening day of firearms bear season, and this year I got a bear tag. The problem is I've never hunted bear in my life. So I need some advice on bear hunting such as where to hunt on the property( the property is comprised of creek bottoms, hardwood/pine ridges, flooded pines and thick brush), shot placement, ammo(my county is a shotgun only county so I'm restricted to shotguns only), and how does one haul a bear out of the woods? I've found a few bear tracks on the property in the past and got 2-3 on my camera but nothing showing that they're staying on the property. In VA baiting bear is illegal both during season and off season and the bear must be at least 100 lbs live weight or 75 lbs dressed. Thanks in advance
