Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Spring bear.

I should update this I guess. Took out two younger hunters and they each shot their bears (both were their first big game animals) The old 303 British with 180 gr Speer RN's were what they used, I did clean things up in the brush with the aforementioned 35 Whelen 200 gr TTSX combo which is quite impressive.

When my turn came last Sunday I used my 270 Win with 160 gr Partition's for the third year in a row. I really like how well they work and are my favourite bullet in 270, my young relative was quite impressed with how fast this guy hit the dirt. This bear was the perfect meat bear, not too big and not too small most of the meat is in the freezer now (mostly ground) but the 2 hams are in a brine for making ham and should be ready by late next week.

Using this recipe with a couple of substitutions, will see how it turns out.
