First time bear hunt - any help would be appreciated

I killed one up near Clayton a few years ago, second time I had been. We went during muzzle loader season and I hunted from a tree stand above a creek crossing. Shot one right before dark and it ran back down the hill to the creek where the trail was, we used a game cart to get it back to camp. In years prior we didn’t have a game cart and that was a drag” pun intended”
 
Cohutta has the bears. Get up there and find some White Oaks. Look for sign that they’re being climbed in by the bears and fed on. You’ll see broken off branches up in the tree tops (with binos) or you’ll find broken off branches on the ground. Fresh scat would also be around. Good luck.
