Bear season opens April 1 in BC.....

[thumper1]

What rifle will you be using?????

 

[westcoaster]

SS Model 70 Classic in 338.

 

[unstableryan]

My friend wants one.. If I go with him, it's an 1895 marlin in 45-70. 420gr hard cast flat point at 1700 is bear medicine. They can go higher but I still want to enjoy shooting it and there is really no need.

[quackquackbang]

If i decide to get a tag ill be using the 7mm-08!!!

 

[308BAR]

Tikka 300wsm

 

[bogie]

Taking my Ruger 30-06 or maybe my Savage 308. Maybe both.

 

[Gatehouse]

Mdl 700 LVSF in .223 with 53gr TSX and .375 RUger Alaskan with 270gr TSX

 

[todbartell]

if I do go, 338 Federal with whatever ammo I have the most of at the time

 

[tootall]

Just to be different, I'm going to try with a Russian SVT-40.
I've taken bear before with a Rem 700 in 7mm RemMag, and also with a Brno 602 in 458 WinMag, so this will be a change.

 

[grizzly416]

either a 870 with slugs or a open sight m14

 

[yodave]

probably snow shoes, April the first on Vancouver Island and most of the island is recieving snow this morning. Oh and a 30-06 in snow camo

 

[Scott_N]

Bear season opens today in Alberta too, but we have too much snow right now to bother. Once it warms up a bit I'll be taking my M70 .338 out.

 

[killswithkimber]

A 270 WSM in a Kimber Montana pushing a 140 g accubond a little over 3200fps . Works great on big bears!

 

[Eagleye]

My 700 "Classic" in 8x57 or possibly my 700 CDL Limited Edition in 7-08AI. Sausage time!! Eagleye.

 

[island grown]

my new Ruger hawkeye ss syn. 270, 140gr.

can't wait

 

[Camp Cook]

The earlist I have ever seen a black bear is April 28 so I'm not rushing out anywhere hunting I will be in the Kootenay's around that time so will be keeping my eyes open for a big black if it isn't big enough I won't shoot.

I'm using either a T/C Contender carbine in 375JDJ 260gr Accubonds @ 2300fps or 45-70 300gr Barnes X or Alfa Lafrank SP @ 1950fps for all my spring grizzly/black bear hunting this year.

 

[Curt]

260 grain Accubond delivered from the muzzle of my Ruger Alaskan at 2712 FPS.

 

[Calum]

probably snow shoes, April the first on Vancouver Island and most of the island is recieving snow this morning. Oh and a 30-06 in snow camo

Like that eh?

Woke up this morning and like WTF?

Oh and I'm probably not hunting Bear this year, but if so I'd take the 300 win mag.

 

[RickF]

It's still winter here, so nothing for a while.

Then it's my old M64 30-30.

 

[Mighty Peace]

My Sako m75ss GReywolf 338-06AI, but the season close to me doesnt open till April 15.

And as mentioned, still winter with 3' plus of snow in fields and in the bush as I went sledding last saturday.
