Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Bear Rifle

As for me, I am going to shoot my next bear with a large caliber rifle, instead of my .270 Win. The reason is , cause I had one run off on my . I shot it through both lungs and it went 125 yds. The real problem was there was very little blood trail in a very thick green woods. It was very hard to track this bear . I did find it just before dark though. I need more blood trail than that. My son got one 206 lb gutted . It was with his .270 Win., shot through the front shoulders with a Hornady 150 gr. It went 20 ft. so they do stop bears fast if shot in the shoulders properly.
