Black Bear Hunting

I have a question for you guys on black bear hunting. What are your thoughts for size of gun and type of bullet for black bears? I usually load Noslers at a 180 gr. for 300 Win Mag. There are several new Nosler bullets out now. Any of you have any experience with them?

Hunting Tip: Make Your Own Cover Scent

When it comes to scent, there are basically two types; those that attract and those that mask. I've tried both on many occasions. There are lots and lots of "doe in heat" scents, designed to attract a big buck into range. I've also used a "cow in heat" scent while elk hunting. Another scent would almost be better named as a "coverup smell". The main goal is to cover up human odor or mask it. Though I don't believe you can ever totally eliminate all human...
