[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1283064, member: 30671"] Barely unpacked and already stirring the pot. LOL! 1) Average bear? 2) Difficult to kill? 3) Which bullet? Used to be a guy from WA Outdoor Life used to feature every once in awhile. Professional bear hunter for the timber companies, snares, hounds, no holds barred kind of approach. Only person ever to claim workers comp for a bear bite. He preferred a .358 Norma at that time. They'd always throw O'connor at him at that point. If I quote him correctly-"if you're shooting the the small bear most shoot, it doesn't matter what you use it will work. If you get into the odd real bear-bigger is better." Easy to kill, maybe, easy to recover not so much. I know of a fair amount of hound men that get 2AM found calls to help with recovery. You're back in the jungles of WA state. Select a good bullet, pick your spot, take your shot. [/QUOTE]
