I voted .475 only because I'm itching to make some meat with mine.

I say post some pictures of all the options just for our oogling pleasure!

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. Big Grin

I voted 44 Mangler. Give 'em hell with whichever you choose.
