Does any one have experience with bear hunting eastern Nc? I'd like to give it a go but have heard it's just about impossible on public land

My farm is in close proximity to where Mike guides. Here is a link to pictures of some of the bears we take.

My exwife was living in Everetts while going to school out that way. I used to see several bears while making the drive out there. I never really thought about hunting in that area.
I'm from NC and have been bear hunting in eastern NC for years. It's not impossible but it will be tough on public land.
My dad and I do a father and son hunt on public land each year in Bertie Co. We usually sit all day in our stands and I think I've only seen one bear over the last 6 years of hunting gamelands.
I would highly suggest looking at Hyde, Dare, Pamlico, or Craven Counties as the bear population will be higher.
If you want a better chance I would look at some reputable guides. There's a lot of small guys that have figured out they can take peoples money over the last few years. Dare to Hyde owns a lot of land and have large bear.
If you want an even better shot and you are ok with it, hunting with hounds gives you a good chance.

Been tracking a bear for sometime now, somebody found him before I did. They shot him way up high on a rock outcropping and just left it there. Completely illegal (Ca.). Well back to the drawing board

Man, that ****es me off!! If you're going to kill one of God's creations, at least have the gumption to find it and carry it out.

760??? That's twice as big as any I've ever killed. Dang.
I live in Eastern NC and can't find a place to hunt bear. Wish I did have a place to go. If there was a club that had plenty of bear, I would consider joining, but I just can't do the deer/dog hunts. I prefer still hunting. Bear with dogs is a different animal and I could handle that , but running up and down the road , seeing people yell on the CB's and jump out in the first turn in the road to shoot at a deer crossing the road, not for me.
