I have been lucky enough to take 5 with my bow and 2 with an 06.  Loved the bow alot better, even though both rifle shot bears were within bow range as well.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Not much of a long shot anymore (If I ever was).  I like to see the whites of their eyes.  45-70 or 450.  Also use '06 but almost all of those kills could have been made w/a levergun.  Critter of habit I guess.

I usually hunt with a remmington 700 BDL in 7mm. But I love the Winchester pre 64 .264 that my dad passed on to me.
