Black bears are actually found in a variety of colors, which can range from white through yellow. However, the most common are black, brown and cinnamon. The black bear is a quiet yet dominant nomad that lives up to its admiration and respect.

Female black bears reach their maximum size by six years of age while male boars will continue to grow until twelve years of age. Typically, most black bears taken during hunts weight between 125 and 300 pounds. If a black bear weighs over 300 pounds, they are considered unusually large.

Black bears are often considered territorial and this is true to an extent.

Often the home range for a black bear can be between two to ten miles and a given area can often include several boars, sows and cubs at one time.

When it comes to hunting black bear you need to keep in mind that while they have poor eyesight they have an outstanding sense of smell and an amazing hearing ability.
