Ok folks. I'm going to be up front and say that I'm a flatland hunter. I've never hunted the mountains and never hunted for bear. Basically, I don't know what I don't know. My wife's cousin has invited me to go to Cohutta with him for the hunt in December so I'm wondering what tactics are best. I'll probably be shooting my .308 with 150 grain Core Lokts and taking my .35 Marlin with 200 grain Leverevolutions as a backup rifle. Any advice for a rookie bear hunter? I've been reading as much in this section as I can but I'm always willing to learn.
