Weapon of choice?

[Abolt338]

What's your go-to weapon for chasing black bears?

As my name hints, I usually carry an Abolt .338, but I sometimes opt for a Super Redhawk in .44 when I'm hunting tight/thick areas.  I would love to get into archery some day.

No special for me, just a 30-06. Still kills em the same ammount of dead.

I use my 270 for everything.

Whatever I have in my hand at the time from the contender to a bow to an 06

Usually i use what ever is sharp in tune, or has a scope on it or is sighted it.  If I can find matching bullets/Loads that helps too.

Try Canada.
I used to have video for a swivel tree stand that had two bear kills over bait with spears. One of the "hunters" was Patrick Swayze's nemesis in the movie Road House.

300 win mag

[saylean]

.300 WSM Tikka T3 (I like things to stop where I shoot em) or my lil bros .280 Browning A Bolt.....

But perhaps this year it will be my bow...

[cohoho]

Tough not to ask when three of the guys that I hunted with were either employees of F & G or Alaskan State Troopers......  Not that they were going to have heart burn about it, was just principle of the matter..

My little 338-06 Ackley is my bear gun of choice.

I always used my 300 win.mag when I used to hunt bear. I haven't hunted them for a few years now but I would still use it.
