MY sons first Black bear 120 yards with a 222rem. He thinks he wants a bigger one this year, I haven't told him how difficult that could be. This was a real bruiser.

hey nice bear. whats up with you canadians and the 222?if you get into running the hog bears there i wouldn't worry about the dogs as much as the gun. i would concider a different caliber gun. big bear big gun. i was hunting with your neighbor the other guide had my dogs we saw 18 bears that day treed a small bear off hwy 20 let it go . from there we drove to tatlayoko lk. just before dark we spotted a large bruin grazing in skinner meadow . i was driving the guides truck so he could size up the bear after a few minutes he decided to take that bear with a 222!!!!i shook my head . told eli to have at it but if he didn't clean kill it i was not cutting a dog loose on a bear shot with a 222.at almost dark ! what a wreck that was. anyhow hopefully he learnd a valuable lesson from that. later that summer he was haying on the 6 mile ranch in anahim lk. and shot a grizzlie with a 30-30 .i tried to convince this young man to gun up a little . evidently its a canadian thing !!! get a chance exercise some of those canadian lynx you have there probably the largest population anywhere in the world right in your backyard. good luck with your hunting !!!
