Bait hunts.you get to see and watch bears on the bait( hopefully) but the hound hunts are exciting also. I carry the biggest gun I have which is a .270, I'd like to have a bigger one but don't go enough to talk myself into purchasing something bigger. My .270 has fired 6 times on bears and killed six. Shot placement is the key. I have a cousin that killed one with a .243 . Rogers bear was killed with a 7 mm stw which Is a big gun, it's a 8 mm necked down to the 7. Steves was shot with a .300 mag.heres a pic of the .270 and the 7 mm STW I've always used a partition bullet 150 grain factory load.
HEY,,WATCH THAT YELLOW ROD
