It worked on a black bear for a teenaged girl. If you take the time it takes, it takes less time. --Pat Parelli American by birth; Alaskan by choice. --ironbender

Heavier will work too, just not needed. Most people don't really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Nosler Partition 150gr, 180gr, TSX 150gr, 165gr? Thanks ANY game bullet will work for a 308 on deer. Black bear where? In thick woods I would pick something that would exit for certain and give two holes to leak blood. A bear can cover a lot of ground quickly and their fur can soak up quite a bit of blood before it starts to hit the ground and leave a blood trail.
