My Father in Law hunted Bear in PA all his life leading crews of 25 drivers. He once told me "bears in PA are shot at 30 yards not 300". That caught me off guard at the time but years have passed now and I have to say he was right. I definitely prefer a 45-70 because PA bears are in the Laurel and swamps and not standing in fields or the wide open woods
