I've killed a clusterfhuck of black bears with .22 centerfires


How many in brush that runs sight length?????? Your “clusterfhuck” of bears always DRT?????



Don't know, or care what "DRT" is, but I've never wounded and lost any black bear I've ever shot at....with any rifle.

Maybe you should explain it all to us....


Sorry I was an complete a$$ the way I responded Pat. I know you are more proficient, skilled and experienced then 99% of the posters here, including myself.

Be that as it may, on the WA and OR coast and the west slopes of the cascades, it’s obviously different then the pictures you posted. Perfect shot or not, you typically never watch the animal die (DRT - dead right there). I love the 22 center fires and hate recoil but have hedged my “bets” by going larger caliber, especially elk and bear.

Sincere question Pat, any validity to that “argument”? Yes I know, age old debate!
