Steelhead, nice bear. I forgot about the Accubonds. What was the terrain and cover like? Spotted and stalked? How far of a shot? Thanks.
Dale, I have never taken a black bear in our state, never even seen one. But I do know what the terrain is like. Given that I would think that with the right bullet (TSX maybe) and the right placement I think you would be OK.
I've seen quite a few over the years, including one that weighed 800 lbs. It was hanging on a tripod in the hunters front yard and it was HUGE! That's my concern, a really big bear in thick cover. It's probably less than 1% chance but it's there.
