bear hunting

Anyone hunt bears in northeastern PA? I looking for any input as to public lands, private leases, clubs, etc. for 2024. Also, any tips, techniques, ideas. I want to get one using my flintlock.

Inexperienced bear hunter here. Planning a Montana spot and stalk hunt for black bear in Western Montana in May. Two questions: is .54 Pedersoli Hawken an adequate weapon? Anyone have experience with predator calling bears, specifically how much do I have to worry if I'm calling in grizzly country?
