Bear protection handguns?

Very cool. I'm sorry that you no longer have it.

I had a Savage 24F 12 gauge with the 223. With a factory composite stock. Back in 1991. Then I sold it. Really wish I had it back. I scoped it. I could nail a 5 gallon bucket dead center w/ sabot slugs. It was somewhat short and handy. I used it for deer a few years. Brush hunting with slugs. I won it in a raffle at work for 2 dollars. I see they sell for a real good dollar today. Mine was a all black stock.

Black bears are very docile. Shed the extra weight and carry more hydrations. Choot the bears at last resort.

Those cannons are a bad idea! you won't shoot it enough to get good with it! Lets go to a plate rack I'll use my 10MM 1911 25 feet back
buzzer goes off step from behind the plywood draw your pistol and start shooting I'll knock down more plates faster than you can!

Head shots ONLY !!!!
Otherwise , you will be "POOF" bird hunting .
Centerfire rifle , center-body shot on Grouse = "POOF".

I've always had good luck with the head shots, but a friend of mine always seemed to forget to "hold high"…..bullet about 2 inches below crosshairs. A .338 WM pushing 210 Nosler Partitions didn't leave anything for the pan!


Though, I failed to hold low enough with my 3" high @ 100 zero on a waterfowl at around 200 yards. That 270 grainer starting out @ 2900 was supposed to hit the water just beneath the bird……no bird for the pot that day! memtb

With a 7.62x39 SKS and probably fmj ? I guess he's not worried about shooting his dogs.

Doug K can beat Jerry any day!

Man he has no regard for his dogs. I guess they are just par for the course. Makes me wonder how many he has accidentally shot or caught on fire. Or possibly got tore up by a ****ed off bear.

I agree . I thought he shot one of the dogs. I had to watch end a couple times.
