[QUOTE="nchunter182, post: 1457137, member: 42015"] Hi, I think that date would work. The outfitter only gets 12 tags for the spring hunt so only two weeks are available. I was part of the group that went for the second week which started June 3rd. That would put the first week starting May 28th which was Memorial day. Like I said, only 12 tags are available so check into it early. I used a Mauser 98 sporter chambered in 375 Winchester with the 235gr Speer bullets. Oddball for sure but I built it to meet Ohio's caliber restrictions for deer hunting. I used it to take both bears and both were pass through shots. I would think most anything would do since this is close up shooting. The previous outfitter I used recommended 308 Winchester or better. A scope with an illuminated reticle is highly recommended. It gets dark quick in the thick timber and seeing a black reticle against a black bear in fading light is tough. It will extend your shooting time some and allow better shot placement. Good luck!
