[QUOTE="dogz, post: 2801874, member: 5429"] Bear conversations are a ton load of fun, no place on these forums do opinions vary so much and like many topics many people are seriously talking out of their 6... Side note to consider the average bear taken in my region (Rocky Mtns) is 5' and maybe 150 lbs soaking wet. I'm not sure Memtb what round you're calling "somewhat marginal" but if it's one of the 6.5's then you seriously need to get off the farm a bit. You say "use anything that is thought to be adequate". Ok, by who's standards and who says what is and what isn't adequate....? IME good judgement will help more when it comes to preparing for unforeseen possibilities. Far and away I've seen more issues with recovering animals over **** poor judgement by the shooter than I have by rounds/bullets that might be inadequate. I'll finish by saying that you like to quote Bob Hagel. I was fortunate to know Bob and spend time with him. There was a lot of things that Bob did very well and some things that he pushed to extremes. I do miss talking with Bob, learned a lot from him. Bob passed darn near 20 years ago, lots of things have changed since then. Would be so cool to cuss and discuss with him some of the neat things that have come along since. Last thing, why do you think I've done a fair bit of running amuck with a 7 Mashburn Super, a 340 Wby and a 375 Wby:)....RIP--BFH [/QUOTE]
