I assume my 30-06 will handle a black bear with 180gr hunting rounds upto 150 yds.
I also assume I would have to skin it and butcher it in the field based on how big it was.
I also assume it is hard to hunt one and I would just be happy to be outside during the spring and not expect much.
It sure would be nice enjoy some bear meat, I could care less about trophies.
Any thoughts?

Well unless you want to end up in court, I wouldn't go spring bear hunting in 460. There is no spring bear hunt in 460, 460 doesn't open to bear until Aug 1...:yeah:
Instead take some time getting to know the regs and asking questions so you understand them

Well shucks, guess I look like an idiot. I hadn't even read through the regs yet or got my license. I guess if I would have, I would have figured out the spring hunt regs.

Meh....you are going to get flack for even asking but hey. Better to look like an idiot (your terms) than be talking to BigTex in the field instead of the forum.
Regs should be out soon, get to reading, by all means get out and enjoy the outdoors and shoot a few bears if you see them with the camera. Then, come general season you will be posting pics of a good day with a dead bear and we will all say well done.

Don't sweat it! That is the beauty of this forum, you can really learn a lot (and stay anonymous). No harm, no foul, now strap on your boots and get out there. Only 4 months to bear season, partner.

It's my first season in several years for deer etc. (combo license) any advice for Hancock land? I figure it's a ton of land and it's within 45 min of me. Trail Cams get taken? tree stands? Trucks messed with? Pressure? Just a few questions I was hoping to get answers to. Thanks in advance?
There is some pressure but I have never had any issues with thieves or seen anyone suspicious. It's half the reason I buy the pass - to be able to lock the gate behind me. I do try to avoid parking near the county road that runs through the center of the property.
