blackies

[moose hunter]

only about a month till spring blackies im pumped for my first bear what should i use my 7mm or 30-06 and how many other people will ne hunting blackies in the P.G area?

[ianwuzhere]

i live in peegee, never tried bear hunting, mite try it this spring, coyote hunting is always fun...

[Gus]

I'll be. I got myself a rug with my .o6 'bout 2 years back, last year I was hunting Grizz ( no luck there), so this year I'm going to try and get a blackie with my bow. We'll see how it goes. As for your weapon decision, either one will be perfectly fine.

[Rob]

Ill be going out for sure, Im going to be using my new rem .260.(If I can ever get to the range to site it in!:sad: )

[ex bc guide]

I will be out chasin them with the hounds this spring!

I just had some bear ribs for supper to try and make some room in the freezer for a spring bear:biggrin:

[TOP_PREDATOR]

Huting bears with dogs????? that would be fun,maybe not fun for the dogs,how do the bears act when you put dogs onto them?? We hunt pigs with dogs down here a lot,but a pig is smaller and does not have claws or biting teeth.

[ex bc guide]

Well if all goes as planned the bear is to tree, it is similiar to running lions hopefully all goes good and you have no wrecks or bears that want to fight the hounds.

i will be out to cut my two tags hopefull...as for weapon choice i think i m going to use my 300 saum with probably some 165 gr. np...or something along that lines if i get them loaded and to the range if not well i dont know what i will be using lol maybe i will bring the old 303 out just so i can pop a bear with it...

hey rob when i get a day i would like to go to the range with ya...

I'll probably go look for a blackie later in the spring. There was a nice cinammon bear hanging around my place last summer. I got some awesome video of him, everyone who saw it figured he'd go 7 ft. Hopefully he's back again!8)

I like my 7mm Mag with 175 Partitions for black bear, but my 45/70 has been itchin for some action!

As you probobly know. Shot placement is more important then the question of 7mm or 3006. Having said that try to only take a 110% clean shot at under 100 meters. Just keep the chance of a super hit and a really good memory high.

The 7mm will not like any obstructions. Small as they might be, the bullet will have problems arriving at the place you are aiming at.
The 3006 will be less effected by small things like a bit of gras or a small stick close to the animal.

And don't forget that I have trained tracking dogs if there is a problem in finding your bear. If I am not out guiding yet, I can come and help.

[Blacktail]

yup me too
Hoping to get out with a fellow that moved here from back east and wants a bigg one

Maybe take my recurve out for one or use the 338

[moose hunter]

if anyone in pg wants to come out and see baby lambs or be on the waiting list for them next year send me a pm id prefer my 7mm i think more power and ive gottas give it a try:smile: ive been using my 30-06 for a while and it weighs a ton i think the 7mm will help me out with walking, but ya anyone in pg want to see lambs maybe has kids that would enjoy it pm me we sell lots of animals but if i recall im not aloud advertising:wink: hope i can get away with this one:grin:

[Marc]

Son, your pushing your luck.

[Blacktail]

gotta give him credit for tryin tho;) :shock: :lol:

[mtnmax]

I will be try'n for a blacky in reg-8 and will use my 30-06. This is my first bear hunt. Hope all goes well.

[moose hunter]

may the big ass bear gods be with us

[Cappy]

Using my Browning BLR loaded with 165gr TBBC's for close in work, we can bait in certain areas here in Alberta. Using the new 325WSM with 200gr bullets (still have to work up a load) for spot an stalk stuff. Both will be doing double duty if I can get out and chase russian boars again.

[3kills]

moose hunter where are u going to put ur bullet on ur blackie??

[moose hunter]

in the heart i think??

[Camp Cook]

I'll be using my 375 RUM with 260gr Accubonds at 3020fps and my Marlin 1895GS 45-70 with 550gr Crater hard cast's @ 1600fps....... :cool:

[bigwhiteys]

I'll be using my 7MM Rem Mag with either 165's or 175's. Either way it's going to tip a blackie over.

Happy Hunting!

I'll be on a grizz trip to try and fill my leh with a friend who also has a leh. Probably buy a black bear tag too just in case I can't find mister grizzer. For Blackies I'll probably use my 7mm WSM, and for the grizzer I have .338 medicine.

[black 'n blue]

My golly. A 375 RUM. I bet they don't go too far. Talk about pre- tenderized bear.:p

[Elkhound]

Well my wife got me a .338 for christmas so I have to christen it on a bear this spring I think. Just had some 225gr Interbond test loads done, just have to go to the range and see how they group.

[johnes50]

I'm gonna smear myself with a paste of sardines and anise, sit on a stump with my trusty old Marlin 30-30 and let em come to me.

Okay, now that is baiting:lol: However, if you are sitting on a stump eating your sardine sandwiches for lunch, I think thats okay;)

[elkster]

If I can find the big guy I spotted last fall, I take him down with my 300wsm 180 grain accubonds. I didn;t take him in the fall cause he was laying having a snooze on a pile of dead salmon (stinky!!!):-D
