The stubby 16-inch carbine is a winner. Kills well and handles like perfection especially in a dense fir and cedar jungle thicket like wear we found the bear.

View from the opposite direction;

Inside the thicket, dogs a-screamin', great day;

A couple great bear rifles;

Worked around a while till we found as good a spot as we could to get a view of the critter;

The shot;

A good one for these parts. Northern {Lower 48, Canucks...

} Rockies blackies are ridge runners and the average boar goes 165 lb's in this state. This one went 240. It was.............a downhill drag!!!
