Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Thinking about a bear hunt a couple years from now

The only way to top that Rat,would be to say a "Guide" talked you into it.................

Try putting a leash on the insults, please.

That bear was taken under guidance by Master Guide Ed Stevenson.

That bear was taken in fullfillment for guide licencing.

That rifle is now my guiding rifle. My choice - end of story.

Facts are facts and that thing is a Rat.

Though in fairness,you are obviously none too good at making choices and I find it more than a little humorous,that you are wanting to "Guide" the choices of others.

Top rate stuff!..............

You opine against the Marlin 1895 as a bear gun.

Fine. It may be news for you - but an opinion (even yours) does not constitute a fact.

A fact is - that one Marlin 1895 G has served me here in Germany for 9 years now of constant use - w/o fail.

A fact is - that that Marlin 1895 G in the picture has cleanly taken that bear in the picture and quite a few more in the hands of Ed.

My choice - needs no ones approval but mine.

I do not guide "choices", I guide hunters.

You OTOH comment anybodies choices - and rile and belittle anything outside your opinion.

ItO, not exactly kosher takin cheap shotsat another man's trophy. Is this an extension of a pizzin match you to had somewhere else?

cmg, don't see nothin wrong with the bear OR the choice of armament

Thanks maddog.

I did not even consider, IO could be meaning the bear. Thought he was commenting on the gun.

Sure as hell ain't nothin wrong with the gun!

Which "Guide" chose the Rat?

Feel free to elaborate on the "rigors" associated with Teutonic Treks,whether it the Critters proper,terrain or weather.

You are on a roll,like few others!...............

Rats are Rats and that is assuredly a glaring example.............

688 posts since mid July - and I am on the roll.

Mkay.

Feel free to post pictures of your trophies.

I will not argue or justify the taking of a legal critter.

You haven't the faculties or prowess,to do anything but Rats...would be far more concise.

Obviously,that FACT does skew your sense of "judgement".

Few puns there..............

As an aside:

Spotshooter;
As you enjoyed your visit to Vancouver recently, I'll throw out a BC black bear hunt for possible consideration?

In BC there is no baiting allowed for bears, so the hunt would be either spot and stalk or with hounds. A guide is required for out of province hunters.

The black bears on Vancouver Island and along the coast tend to be larger on average than the bears one finds further inland. There are of course always exceptions but while we can encounter a black bear over 6' here in my part of the south Okanagan, I can't say we've seen that size with any regularity.

I'm sorry that I've no clue as to fees, but like all things it would pay to do some research and call some successful and unsuccessful references.

Hopefully that was some use to you, good luck on your bear hunt wherever it takes you.

Regards,
Dwayne

Ed Stevenson isn't my hero. I'm stopping short of saying he's full of BS, although some think so. The only guys I know that love him are some of guys at Wolfe Publishing.

IO, who made you the resident jerkazz, or are you a reincarnated "troll" from another era?

Couple sheep I guided last year.





Lets just agree on two things -

1) you will not get a rise out of me.

2) if what I do is a thorn in your side, that is not my trouble.

We have had these run - ins before:

cmg vs. tryme
cmg vs. palewhitecracker
cmg vs. ImitatedOften

See the constant side of things?

Done now contributing to sidelining this thread.

Facts and results have/will always interest me.

Rats are Rats.............

1) Noone can hang you,better than the job you do on your yourself
2) I know a Rat when I see one,nothing more...nothing less


Them are constants...............

toltec,

have you ever met Ed Stevenson?

To your credit,you certainly impress easily.

Congratulations?!!?.............
