I don't deer hunt with the .218Bee #1 any more. Had a snakey feeling go up my spine while I was standing in a pile of fresh grizzly shit, Ruger #1B over my shoulder, looking at several more piles of grizzly shit all around me about a 20' circle - in his living room, so to speak.

The .218felt a mite small, even though loaded with fast stepping 50gr. X bullets. Last time I packed in in that area - about an hour's drive from home.
