| I voted .475, but the .45 Colt is a close second for me.

| Which one do you shoot best?
That is the one!
Stuff it with the proper bullet and place correctly.
I prefer them to start with the measurement of .4 or larger |

I am equally inept with all of them.My only hope is that concussion from the blast stuns them so I can run up and give the coup de gra. |

| Good deal on the bear draw. Wis takes way to long.
Going to bait sit or find some one with hounds.
I said 454 just because any of them would work
The 38spl might not be the best choice but.
Sept isn't that far away. |

| My freind Steve who is 65 and I took are freind out who is 75 with 2 bad knees and got him a nice 334lb dress bear with the hounds. We had a blast having done both, hounds are better IMHO.
We were able to get the 4 wheeler right up to the bear and us 3 old guys were able to load it and drive it right out of the woods. |

| Tractors work well the 490 pounder I shot about 6 years ago now. We were able to roll him right in to the bucket. Then drop him into the pickup box. |
