[QUOTE="Caleb777, post: 2433288, member: 122158"] I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. Unfortunately this was not a '21 bear but rather a '20 bear I took in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan but I still believe it will get some enjoyment. The rifle pictured with me is a 1931 Finnish M37 chambered in 7.62x54r. This rifle was made in the Tikkakoski factory in Finland…better known in the states at "Tikka". Using 200gr Russian Silver Bear soft points. Chased the bear for 9 miles and according to the dogs GPS collar, he averaged 6mph. It ended with him about 10ft from me looking me in the eyes on the ground in his den and it was so thick neither one of us had anywhere to move. A shot to the base of the neck anchored him there but made for a difficult drag back to the trail! [/QUOTE]
