gnatshooter Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Tape the 12ga. to the .308.. B) LOL I was wondering which would be the best, I guess it's a tie? ^-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I have two blacks out of California. Both were about 250-300 lbs. Both taken with my Mossberg .308 bolt action. On my first bear hunt (I was young) I forgot my ammo and had to buy ammo at a hardware store. All they had was 180gr SP. I head shot a boar at about 30 yards. My second bear hunt (also my wife's first anything-hunt) I was loaded with Hornady 150gr ballistic tip. Another head shot at 60 yards landed a sow.

I'd like to get the skull bleached if it's a big bear so I'd rather not do a head shot. I got Barnes vor-tex 150gr tipped TSX BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Oh that is a good one. A grizzly in Northern Wisconsin! Saw a black bear two weeks ago on the Bad River Reservation right outside Ashland was huge! Guessing close to 400 pounds if not a little more.

Sisco Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 The great outdoors video. Didnt you say that was supposed to be in Wisconsin? I didnt see the movie originally. As far as bears, the average size is increasing up here. A fellow I know ran a radio tagging study of black bears for twenty years, and he was telling me that one reason they are getting bigger is deer baiting. And because of deer baiting, they are staying awake longer into the fall to take advantage of the free food. I can vouch for this. A couple of years ago I had a ground blind destroyed by a bear during rifle season. And on Thanksgiving Day I was in a tree stand during a snow storm when I look behind me and there is a bear 100 feet away looking at me. About 250 pounds. He watched me for five minutes, than up and wandered away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually seen a bear deer hunting up there but we've seen plenty of sign. we've kicked em up while driveing, and that totally makes sense with baiting.
