Finally Killed A BEAR!!

osirus101 · August 11, 2005, 03:00 AM

It was one of the greatest experiences i have ever had and i wasnt even looking for one. I went target practicing way out in the middle of no where and on the way home i found the biggest black bear i have ever seen. With only my 454 Casull and corbon penetrators i followed the bear( very short distance) took one shot with my casull a perfect vital shot took off like a rocket...did a little tracking and not a 100 yards from the shot was my bear!

i now know my 454 is capable...and ill have a nice rug/mantel piece...so excited thought i would share it with the firing line

Wow! Well done!

+1 on the picture request.

Sounds like the .454 Casull worked well for you.

Congrats!

Luck does have a lot to do with hunting success, but skill to follow up on lucky opportunities must be earned - glad you wer up to it.

yeah, what do you do with all that meat? I have alwas asked myself this.

osirus101 · August 13, 2005, 04:03 PM

Of course eat the meat...its really good...especially if they have been eating up rose hips and berries. We took it down to the taxidermy...and it appears we have our self a good size inland Grizzly...because of the colors we thought it was a big black bear...still legal in the area we shot it..i made sure to take those precautions any way just to be safe..

I hear bear is really good tasting, but I dunno if I could eat it...I mean, it's a member of the Canine family (i.e. related to DOGS)...

Sorry there Scrap5000, . . . but if my old biology teacher didn't lie to me, . . . Bruno the bear is far closer related to Porky Pig than to any Fido.

Genetically he is darn near a first cousin.

May God bless,
