[QUOTE="coyote wacker, post: 2417864, member: 93683"] I've guided bear hunters for over 45 years in Michigan over bait seen them shot with many 7mm Rem Mags one bullet I would never allow any one to use is 175 gr. bullet....black bears are not much tuffer that a large deer and a 175 gr bullets is just more than what is needed.....problem is a 175 gr. bullet just don't seam to mushroom a lot and will just push threw a bear and go out the other side putting most of its energy in a tree or dirt.... Not saying it will not kill a black bear just not a choice I would even consider.... I would tell every bear hunter I guided to use the same gun and bullet as you would use hunting deer....it will work I've seen it work..... Actually black bears are not that tough with a proper shot.....deer with the same shot will go farther than a bear..... Only problem is bears are usually shot in fall cover is still thick and a bear has long hair to absorb blood some times making tracking difficult..... [/QUOTE]
