[QUOTE="wilkup, post: 2261440, member: 74276"] Sounds like you just need to see a bear. My only suggestion regarding that choice would be to avoid using that round in heavy timber. I lost a bear about 8 years ago shooting a 150gr Matrix VLD from a 6.5 Sherman at ~3180fps (fairly similar to what your setup is). I killed it, but had no blood trail to follow and sadly found it a few weeks later while hunting the same area. It got a decent run in before crawling under a log and hiding. We spent 2 full days searching to recover that bear. Ever since then, I make sure there's plenty of open ground around when shooting them. Good luck on your hunt and I hope you kill a monster!
