Got him a while ago,tough old bear..Took six shots from an /06 ,220 gr silvertips..Actually ran out of bullets and had to get the hell out of there to get more..Scared as I have ever been..MaN did he have bad breath.

WOW!!!

Nice bear!

Your bullet was too big. Shoulda used a 180. LOL. I've never heard of 220 Silver tips.

Looks like he could weigh in the high 300's.

Where did you get him? Bait hunt? Spot/stalk?

can't see your pic.

Tell us the whole story.............and would you use silvertips again

I saw the pic, but after I edited my post, it didn't come back up. Sometimes you can hit refresh and it will pop back up. May depend on what website you used to upload it to.

I used to use imagestation but photobucket and hunt101.com seem to be better. I see that you used imagestation. Having problems with them lately. Maybe you should switch.

hope this works better

Hey machinist, try going to photobucket and open an account for free, upload your image there and try to repost. I didn't get it again on your second go.

do not have a clue why this will not show up,try again in a bit i guess..I would not use the silvertips again.even at 15 feet they did not seem to open up enough to cause the damage I wanted..I did not want him snapping and clawing at me at all and he did that and was doing that when I finally got my legs working to run away...Truck was about 400 yards away through the bush down a good slope and up the other side..Never ever only take a few bullets with me again,even with my 375 i carry a dozen or so..Hope to never need them ..this was my fault as well as I gave him a bad first shot and really pissed him off.he charged me when i found him the next day ..Big adrenaline rush..Just a black but man he could have chewed me good!!

Try this again on photobucket

Well FWIW, I can see the pictures again now. I killed my little blackbear with that 180 Scirocco. Dropped it.

I always take 20 bullets with me.

MUCH BETTER WITH PHOTOBUCKET!!

I think i weighed 240 when the pic was taken and the bear was a damned sight bigger than me,Not like the little one I shot two weeks ago!

Thanks for the photobucket info,,I hooked up a scanner today for the first time ,I am on a roll!!!!

Good to see *somebody* is killing bears! Congratulations.
