Bait

If it's legal where you are hunting, setting up a bait station is usually the best bet. I think most lower 48 hunters do this and shoot blacky from a tree stand.

I suppose it depends on where you're going, what you're going for, and what the laws are in that area.
Based on knowing nothing, my best advice is to bring a big gun!
