My Chapuis makes its second kill in North America

UPDATE

I shot one, and a friend of mine shot a bear on a different bait about 1 mile away from me.

The old 9.3 x74r Chapuis did quite a job on him.

The first thing this rifle killed was a coyote the night before I shot the bear.

Thanks everyone...

This is also the first time I have ever used a Hornady bullet on anything. I have to say they are impressive. I don't know if I would use them on African stuff but they sure did a job on that bear.

Nice bear Honk. I used my double .400/,360 (make brass from 9.3X74R) on my first bear. The medium bore doubles are the best boar/bear rifles ever created. Congrats, man.
