Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles AK Black Bear Hunt Rifle Choice

All tagged out and happy with the choices we made.

My son shot a good bear at 150 yards (died in a crappy place so pics don’t do it justice at all) with the .30-06 and a 165 Accubond. Was quartering a bit more then I would have liked when he touched it off and hit a little far back. Bear made it to the alders on a steep hill. Only went a couple hundred before giving it up but made for a long day. One shot, two holes and a dead bear so the Accubond did it’s job even with less then ideal steering.





I found a good bear last night that we made a move on. I suck at judging bears and almost didn’t shoot but finally decided it was plenty big. Glad I did. The first 225 sierra took off the top of his pumper and the second anchored him as he was on his final run. Lots of trauma and two holes after putting it through the ribs. Very happy with that.
