Yeah great info, now can you put me on one!!!
Maverick:
What caliber do you guys recommend and how far are you willing to shoot at a bear with that caliber?
h20hunter:
I'd say there is no answer for you. I'd say how far can you shoot your legal caliber and be confident of hitting your target. If you shoot a cannon but can't hit anything what good is the caliber and range?

Quick edit: I've shot my only two bears under 30 yards with a .270, one was a 130gr, the other a 150gr. I put the bullet where it needed to go. First bear flopped on its back, second took 3 steps.
D-Rock425:
I shoot a little 7mm08 because I'm a girl.  That being said i'd shoot 200 yards on a broadside bear with no hesitation.  I'm always looking for a 2nd follow up shot no matter how good I think I've hit the bear.
