My wifes bear taken with her 300 Savage,165gr NP at 2500fps. The bear collasped at the shot and while no doubt dying she gave it 1 more for insurance!
This fellow dropped at the shot from my 358 Norma Mag w 280 Swift A-Frame.
Both were killed unaware of hunters with the bullets going through the top of the heart lung area and getting a shoulder as well.


I tend to use more than enough gun

Jim,

I never would have guessed such a pretty woman would put up with the likes of you.

Congrats on the bears. Were both taken the same day?

That was a good idea to shoot them where you could get a boat up close.


ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Outstanding!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Is her rifle a Savage M99? If so, that is just too cool.
Cool

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

Congratulations, real nice bears. Were they both taken on the same hunt?

My wife's rifle is a Rem 722 whittled down to her dimensions and we pretty much live in our hunting grounds. We have been DLPing (defense of life and property)bears for years but this year a new hunt was offered to rural residents to take 1 bear a yr no closed season. That's exactly what we plan to do! Next year my bride will looking for a honker!

Great looking Bears. Just goes to show somw that you do not need shoulder fired artillery.
LOL
I usually use a 375 and the wife uses an old 405Win.


Ignore your rights and they will go away!
