Hi,
I'm going out in a couple weeks with my uncle to hunt BB for the first time. I shoot the best with my Marlin 30-30 fitted with a 4x32 scope. I'm going to be shooting Rem Cor-Lokts 170 gr FN bullets.
He told me that we're going to spot&stalk the bears. How close can I ideally 'stalk' a bear and shoot it in the vitals? At 100 yards, can the .30-30 still get to the vitals effectively?
Also, what are some tips to follow? Always be down-wind, look for poop, don't move or make lots of noise if the bear notices you, anything else? Shoot when the bear puts it's front leg forward?
