[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 345415, member: 12863"] A one year old sized black bear hide sold for $350. at the state auction some years back _(3-4 years.) Brown bear depending on size went from $6000.-$8500. All the large Brown Bear hides sold to a taxidermist from Canada. Not sure which forum the discussion initiated from. However, if one does not practice with the tool of his choice the tool is pretty much irrelevant. If one can not draw and fire the first round and hit a paper plate every shot at 7 feet in two seconds plan on feeling pain. I have been in this situation enough times and friends sharing their similar experiences, I have a TWO (2) SECOND rule. Besides the actual physical training, one must know the equipment as second nature. If you have forgotten which holster and which firarm you are carrying that day you may very well not have time to find it. I have only ever been attacked at 30 yards or less. Takes a bear 2 seonds to cross thirty yards. We here on Kodiak have very limited drawing tags> That has made for wonderful success rates for the guides but it makes for dangerous times. Last summer we took 3 bear in defense in the city limits. All three were within one block or less of where I live with one of those taken at a school playground 100 yards away. Our first ever road kill bear was killed by a truck 12 miles out of town. Neal [/QUOTE]
