It’s this same type of heard mentality
I am LOL
It’s this same type of heard mentality
two days before an out-of-state deer hunter had shot the bear twice with a .30-30.
There's more to the story, but that doesn’t impact the validity of these photos. Unbeknownst to the Schloughs, two days before an out-of-state deer hunter had shot the bear twice with a .30-30. Once in the head at near contact range. Didn't kill the bear.
t’s this same type of heard mentality, lazy thinking, and lack of critical thought that leads people to believe the old .30-30 is an ideal cartridge for a 600 lb bear.
You do NOT have to have the latest, greatest
What about those "smaller" eastern bears ? Record PA bear was 900 lbs ! There have been some recent ~ 700 lbs taken with a bow in the Catskills.
For bullets I'd use a heavier ,better constructed bullet. I'd use my 45-70 with 300 gr Win Partitions.Other than that my 30-06 , 180 gr.
