I hunt deer in areas frequented by black bears. I have never shot one. Saw a few hind ends heading for distant locales. But the fact is there is NO Sexual dimorphism in bears as say deer, the males of which sport antlers ...or pheasants, where the male has beautifully colored plumage compared to the grey female. (Or humans for that matter where the female is wide in the correct areas.....thank the lord)
I might shoot a bear if a shots presented itself but I would probably take an inordinate amount of time double checking for cubs, to the point that the bear may tire of posing for me and book.
It’s good to check for the location of cubs. You do not want to be between them and momma.
