D-Rock, thought you were going to go big or go home and use that bow of yours? If no luck just wait for that last week then take the rifle. I'll bring my own rifle just in case you can't get close enough.I will try to shoot the 2nd bear with my bow I'm running low on meat in the freezer.

What slugs are you shooting? I've been running some Winchester Dual Bonds and Hornaday SST's (I think they are) thru my H&R slug gun with good results.Those are sabot slugs, you get just as good or better accuracy with rifled slugs, sabots slugs are made for rifled barrels, rifled slugs are made for smoothbore. I would never use an SST on a elk let alone a bear. Its made for accuracy, not for penetration or knockdown power.
