M14S bear hunt!

[the_big_mike]

Well I am bringing my M14S bearhunting!

I'll be gone August 30-September 6th. I'm leaving with Jmasson & Signguy. I'm using federal premium vitalshok ammo 165 grain. We have everything ready to go

I'll give a detailed report on how I hold up with the 'rinco.. as well if it proves okay enough for bear!

Hey, let us know how this turns out. I'm looking for a good medium to heavy game ammo for my M14.:beerchug:

just keep squeezing that trigger, them bears are out to getcha!

I think your .308 will be more then enough for that 25yrd shot from the stand. just try not to let the bear fall in all those donuts and honey, makes a mess of the hide

308 is not big enough for black bears

well given the population of bears there and the fact that most BC bear hunting Can be done without leaving a forest service road i can under stand why its illegal there

 

[Winters]

Baiting is legal in many areas in AB, but not all - check the regs.

I wonder if they'll open up the griz zones for baiting now that the season is gone...

 

[bingefister]

I agree, .308 is great black bear antidote. Looking forward to pictures.

Hell, If you live in the right neighbourhood you're only a reg change away from being able to take them from your front porch. Damn nearly hit a bear this morning on the way to visit my folks, and I was on a main road.
