[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1308153, member: 4191"] Hunters carrying 6.5s make for good bear snacks. I've known hunters carrying 280s and and even 30-06 in brown bear country that learned this lesson the hard way. Notice that past tense "have known", because the guy carrying the .280 Rem is no longer with us. The top of his skull and a portion of his brain was removed by a large boar brown bear about 10 miles from where I currently sit typing this Post. If you have no problems with problem bear(s), you can kill deer all day long with 6.5 and lesser cartridges. I suppose it comes down to, do you feel lucky enough to carry a pea-shooter. As long as your luck holds, no problems. [/QUOTE]
