Treeing them with hounds (blk bear-climbers) and shooting with lo-po levers, pistols and yes knifing them (typ. 2nd shot) was popular! lol Brown bear must've been NO fun until the 45-70, 404 and Springfield w/ 220 gr came around, and those are marginally adequate.

Per Kevin Robertson's prose (Africa's Most Dangerous,) consider using the 350 gr TSX (if you find a 350 TTSX-I'll give you $100 for it plus the cigar case you ship it in!) as its SD is way over .300 and it performs just like the animal's been hit with a .416. That said, it is a little much for...

With everything that's going on right now it may take me a while but my son bought me a book about these 1800s trekkers in America and specifically their bear hunts you will love it!!! It's probably packed up in a box as we are transitioning from my house to live up at the farm but I just came...

Just the day before my son and I left for one Zimbabwe trip in the past we were having breakfast out on the back deck discussing the details and this lone male bear shows up he wants our food he's freaking out growling popping his teeth mock charging the deck it was freaking my young son out but...

I remember it like it was yesterday she was of a special breed from Brooklyn New York that knew absolutely nothing about the outdoors nature or wildlife. I'm sure some sort of weird old religious beliefs were guiding her at the time and we see how that worked out. I could say a lot more about...

Sorry to say but I rode and drove and trailered many friends with broken ducati's home from far away including ferrying a broken bike over from Nova Scotia to Maine LOL a lot of that Italian machinery is very finicky and has issues! Also with the exception of the MV a little low in the...

This is the same cycle Jay Leno had the kid on his show that was clocked at 205 mph by the cops Jay loving such machines he had the kid on to help pay for his fine. I'll just say I had more fun than that kid for a much longer period of time and I'm lucky to be alive! My daughter once demanded...

I see them all the time in my yard black bears are like big raccoons generally harmless they just want food when they smell it including garbage. That said during droughts they also just want food and they will eat your kids or you for that matter especially up in Alaska! In my 30 years of...

Yes it was before then Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett there are books written about this! I remember Daniel Boone surveying additional territory they actually called it the Western front at the time LOL but it was just Ohio West Virginia Kentucky but he killed many a bear in that manner.

Very nice!!! 'Had just about every Honda w/ an RC designation, a few CBRs, the Transalp (Dakkar-style) and countless enduro bikes. I did consider buying the Mille when it first came out. As I recall you could get them in 3 diff trim-the best being the race model. :) The Andrettis of race...

I've been waiting impatiently for the 4/70 sale!

It needs to be even better publicized the value of game on the ground and the people it supports! They can make mention of sport hunting here and there but the primary focus of this worldwide message should be: no hunters dollars? No animals! Most of the lib greenies just offer lip service...

it only happens up to 2x, but it's distracting!

Low are the way to go when they fit! I put higher, QD rings on my 416 so that I wasn't looking at the iron sights through the scope on low power, and it's not a long-range rig so it doesn't affect accuracy too much.
