    Best .45 ACP round for black bear protection

    Well i was gonna say Buffalo Bore .45 super, but the rest already have. I've never seen one that didnt run away at sight or sound of me unless it was on bait that it was habituated to and saw it as "his" food source, even then i would bet that if i took a shot at it, whether i hit it or not...

    Big Bores on Bear

I simply dont use them because its not legal in my area. I have killed two black bears with 30-06 180gr core-lokts, both...

    Big Bores on Bear

    While i have no doubt big bores would be great on black bears, where i live and hunt bait and dogs are not allowed so flatter shooting cartridges tend to be the popular choice. In my area we spend a lot of time glassing for bears in the spring and shots tend to be on the longer side. In the fall...
