Only those who can't shoot well enough with a 9mm Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

One doesn't even have to be a guide to use a 9mm on bears.

Brenner fired twice at the center of the hulking shape closing to four or five feet away. The sow, estimated at 400 to 450 pounds, went down. Brenner then put three more bullets into her head. He used a 9 mm semiautomatic pistol. Lewis said such a low-caliber gun ordinarily doesn’t pack enough punch to kill a bear. But Brenner loaded the pistol with full-metal-jacket bullets that penetrated to the bear’s vital organs, he said | |||

But you do need to be able to shoot well under pressure. I shoot way better with my rifle, even snap shooting, but having a pistol you're good with on you beats the hell out of looking for a stick!

I don't trust any bear - regardless of size or colour! Spring bear hunt only a month away. I can't legally tote a rifle pre-opening day, May 1st, when baiting, but I can a big axe!

This would be a better choice then a axe. https://www.amazon.com/Cold-St...Sheath/dp/B004N0KVTS Much better stand off distance | |||

It could be that she was habituated to men in a remote station. Maybe they were feeding her. My lad Tom would often talk to the camp elephants and I am sure he could have fed them by hand.  ROYAL KAFUE LTD Email - kafueroyal@gmail.com Tel/Whatsapp (00260) 975315144 Instagram - kafueroyal | |||

Or there was a lot of vodka involved ... I think yo're right though this can't be the first time he fed her. The cubs feel very safe. Regards, Chuck "There's a saying in prize fighting, everyone's got a plan until they get hit" Michael Douglas "The Ghost And The Darkness" | |||

There valued reasons that removed them from many areas. | |||

I wish there were some of these bears left. Give me a reason to book a Kodiak brown bear hunt in Olga bay. It's on my bucket list. That's not a Daisy BB rifle either!

A polar bear charging in the snow on a sunny day would be a difficult shot. My go to gun would still be my 4570 double with iron sights. | |||

Well if I ever have a spare $50K lying around so I can go after a white bear I will be taking my Win Mod 70 CRF version in .458 Win Mag. Don't need anything that big usually, but it does hit like a freight train and ends things quickly. ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||

If I'm going after bears that big, I think I'm bringing my 500 Jeffery! Regards, Chuck "There's a saying in prize fighting, everyone's got a plan until they get hit" Michael Douglas "The Ghost And The Darkness" | |||

I had the deck replaced with a Trek deck no stairs. The UV had essentially destroyed my redwood deck, my insurance company said I had to replace it lol. Anyway no more bears on the deck.

Our feeders are always down by the end of March.

We most certainly do. After 45 years of guiding for them, it is always nice to see them, just as we enjoy the moose and deer that wander through our place. What we don't enjoy most of the time is people, as they are the most likely to cause problems.  ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||

Pet bear on my deck eating out our bird feeder. One night I was looking through my telescope on the deck and I heard him coming up the stairs. He's not a real pretty black one, but he's pretty big for a Colorado bear. He's not standing, he's sitting on his haunches. Deck was falling apart so I had it replaced with steel and Trex, no stairs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOnuMK1dZwI Regards, Chuck "There's a saying in prize fighting, everyone's got a plan until they get hit" Michael Douglas "The Ghost And The Darkness" | |||
