Enter me in the Vortex/Cameraland contest.pan.:D

LOL,yea John,im pretty well open minded when out and about.Not all thing go in all situtations.Just a little common sense,together, with a good gun,[whatever you prefer],as long as you can shoot well with it, and is big enough to do the job.Taking a dog with you when brook fishing is out!.A...

I bet that the maulings you discribe are when a hunter is dressing out a kill OR when they go back to retrieve meat.In your state i believe that you have Griz?.,awhole dif.bear .Blackie will to. Out camping is another thing,At night a dog would be a good insureance of leting you know somethings...

Taking a dog with you in bear country is a BAD idea.If the dog tackles the bear you may lose it.If the dog finds that it tackled more than it can chew,lol,then it will run to its protector,guess who?.most times the bear will be mad,and in the case of a mama,will kill anything that threatens her...

black bears are not that hard to kill.The bullets you have are all you need.Shot placement is ALL importantYou are set to go and get any bear you chouse.Read all the posts on this subject,a lot of real good advice.Many,many bears have been killed with the good ole 30-30,go and enjoy your hunt.pan.:)

Sounds to me that you and your buddy need to pratice SHOT placement. The 300 Mag. is way more than enough for the animals listed,with just about any bullet ya may shoot them with.Learn shot placement and your sucess rate will inprove 100%.pan.

The 45-70 is a proven ctg.Like the 45 colt.Loded up with the rite bullets they have been killing big game around the world since they were born.I would never feel under gunned with eather one with the rite loads.both have a very good,proven, track record.They may not have the wiz bang speeds and...

Yep,i didnt think of the good ol shotgun.Nothing can stand after being shot with a slug,or buckshot.A pump is the way to go.The trick is to hit them in a vital spot.A bear is unbelievably fast,dont ever forget that.Most times they will bluff you and get close on a charge,then,stop pop their...

The ole 30-30 is just fine.If you want to carry a hand gun a 41,or 45 colt would be perfect.If you wanted to change your rifle then get one in the cal.of 45,or 41,and you will have ammo for both at the same time.I live in black bear country and they are taken with these cal.every year with no...

Yep,over 60grs of powder and go to Mag primers.60 and over powder is a lot to ask of a std.primer to burn.Now saing that in these times ov sortages,use what you can get.you may not get the best from your rifle,but yo can still shoot and will be able to try new loads.As been stated before,primers...

Are your sure your ocl is not to long?.I had that same problem and i shaved a little more than stated in the manuals and sure enough that was the fix.pan.

Ya never said you were goin to shoot deer,lol,paper is what i see.Thats a remarkable group,groups you have shot.I guess that it just gos to show that the bolt guns are not the king of small groups,lol.Most of us would be proud of half as good.Great shootin!!. Any anilml shot through BOTH lungs...

JE Custom.I guess you dont like bear meat,lol.Thats fine.As for crow,get them in the summer,pretty good!.The winter crows have been pickin the cow dung and eat the corn and such from the farmers spreading it on their fields.If you live near a landfill,i would not eat it eather,lol.Wild crow that...

I live here in the north east kingdom of VT.Around here we eat bear.I dont care for fall bear as they have to much fat to suit me.The game wardons here sometimes get a road killed spring bear.Now they have little fat and are much better,at least to me.A young cub is also exelent!.The fall bears...
