I've shot lots of blacks. Poisoned, snared ,trapped 30 one summer for various beekeepers. Troublesome bears that keep knocking over hives. The ones that die fastest are the ones that bite the end of my 30-30 when they are in the tank trap. LOL. You have to use small caliber so you don't shoot holes through the rangers traps. When they are fatted up in the fall they can take a lot of lead before going down.


It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
