kaytodWhich 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.

p dog shooterGood 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.

Bait,I could`nt run with the dogs anymore.I have been baiting for other guys in the same area and have pulled 5 nice bear out of there the last three years.Smallest 225 largest 350 dressed.Got some pics of a giant but no one has scored on him as of this past fall.

p dog shooterMy 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.
