[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2768990, member: 109862"] Agreed. People are really overthinking this. A black bear is a whole different animal from a grizzly and yet some people act like it’s a polar haha. If your rifle/cartridge/bullet is suitable for all around hunting of deer, hogs, elk….then there’s absolutely no insufficiency for a black bear and to the best of my knowledge there’s no eastern subspecies of black bear that’s bigger or tougher to kill. Bearing in mind that I’ve also seen a lowly whitetail deer take seemingly impossible damage and still run half a mile (one time - still doesn’t make sense to me) The psychological and even physiological differences between individual animals can account for most of the lore surrounding how hard some people claim any given species is to kill. Some humans are the same way haha, more will to live, built tougher, or more oblivious to how much damage they’ve incurred…more fight in them But at the end of the day it’s just a black bear.
