Bear season opened up this weekend and my son wanted to get one with my M-S .358 Win. The kid has class! He isn't flat brimming and man bunning. He has taken a few Black bears before, but never with the M-S. Load was 49.0 grs of TAC under a 225 gr Woodleigh. The Woodleighs shot a little more accurately than the 200 gr Hornady's that I used to use in a BLR that I had. The Woodleigh went through the bear's neck and it dropped on the spot. Very impressive! Check out the exit wound. I don't think we ever saw that much blood. This was his largest to date. 321 pounds. Sorry about the rotated picture of the scale. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/112926.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/112927.jpg)

Where’d he get that sweet Predator jacket? I had a pullover for years that was a Copenhagen promo but I finally pitched it.
Nice bear too.

I have used my 35 Whelen loaded to 358 levels on a lot of big hogs using the Woodleigh 225, great bullet. That is a nice bear for sure. Perfect neck shot.

I wish I could find another one. Not many times I wear camo but predator calling is one of them, and that pattern is perfect for winter around here.

Excellent bear! Congratulations on the bear!
I have that jacket and wore it on the elk hunt this year for the first time in years. I really like it when there is a bit of snow around although it breaks up the outline anywhere. Too warm for western Washington most of the time. I’m not wild about hoods unless it is really blowing cold. Happy Trails

Nice bear.
Congratulations to your son!!
Love the 35's.......built a Whelen and looking into a .358 Win........absolute authority on game!!!!
There is a distinct notable way deer and hogs react to being hit with a .35.....much more so than other calibers I have hunted with.
I was reticent in its effect of which I had heard.......now after using the Whelen 3 times I am a believer.
Again...Congratulations on a fine bear!!!!
Best
