    I also am with houndogger. Have been uncomfortable twice but that was all. By the way the TBBC bear hunt weekend at the Conuma Valley will be on April 30/May 1st. Hope to see a good turnout. We will be camping at the Hatchery campsite again this year.

    Hey Houndogger , I like the Win 12 g Defender as the safety sear releases on recoil allowing recock right away. With others you must remember to push the hand slide forward after shot to release the sear to allow cocking . Failure to do so may result is me getting your dogs LOL. Few of us owners practice with these short barrels . I have even tried trap with them. The main thing I have learned about them is the notion that they must be shot from the hip . That is a myth and with a firm grip they may be sighted and are much more accurate. Try them out it is well worth it.

    Timberhunter, what is that thing? Is it legal? Who makes it?

    graybark is that the same as you are talking about?

    Man i want one but I bet they cost more than 60 bucks huh?

    Wasn't there a bounty hunter on TV about 30 years ago who carried something like that?

    I got a short spear in my quiver for longbow backup but I like the looks of that thing.

    Very excitited about hunting this season!! Especially with the bow. Will be going out for spring bear untill I get one, and will be having someone with a boom stick for back up seeing how it is the first time hunting with a bow. After the bear tag is punched, I'll move on to the next unfortunate animal to fill my freezer!!

    Good luck on your first bear with a bow 3d. I can remember mine as it is nailed to the wall behind the computer.

    Hey Leftcoast , That is what I posted about but mine doesn`t have the folding stock. If you manage to find a used one the folding stock is a nice touch but not nessecary. I strongly believe in the Win Defender 12g on account of its safey sear as previously posted.
