Wanted to post this picture of my first PA Black Bear, got her this past November 2016 and finally got some time to post a picture. Shot her with my old 1960 Marlin 336 SC .32 Special..... ammo was plain jane Remington 170 gr. factory ammo. bullet entered the base of the left side of her neck and exited her right shoulder,she dropped on the spot and never moved. Only took me 48 years of hunting to get "one"......... It was my lucky day,I was the only person hunting on the entire ridge and she just walked right towards me. 305 lbs. field dressed. ![[Linked Image]](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o320/mossyoak1957/IMG_0014_zpselwmjy4o.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o320/mossyoak1957/IMG_20161119_121210854_zpsiw96hz17.jpg)

James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.

Awesome! I once traded you a Remington 760 carbine for a Marlin 336A that was made in the 50's, did I not?

I'm envious. I want to shoot one badly, just have to make it happen. Love your choice of rifle too!
