[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 3071084, member: 90397"] I have taken three black bears I was a resident in WA state. The first was a small black bear with a .308 Win and 165 Accubond at 100 yds. I wasn't impressed. The bear ran 50 yards into a thicket of choke cherries. It expired shortly but I did not relish wading into the thicket to retrieve it. The other two bears were taken with a 300 WM at 200 yards and they went nowhere. Shot placement on all three was right behind the shoulder. I'm not saying I wouldn't shoot a bear with a 308 Win if that is what I was carrying while deer hunting. I plan on using either my 6.5 SAUM or 7 PRC this spring when I'm specifically looking for bear. [/QUOTE]
