Dracb

Thank you so much for the info..really enjoyed reading about your experiences...

All of what you have said is pretty much what I have read, heard or experienced..I have only shot about 6 or 7 bears. Out of those only one was a griz.. most have died really easy, BUT as you say, get them stirred up a bit and its a different story...

Fortunately I can still carry here and as such normally carry my titanium S&W in .44 Mag loaded with 300gr hard cast when in Griz country--in Black Bear carry one of my lighter 357 Mags loaded with 180gr Hard Cast Cores..they seem to be effective..

The Crazy's huh??

They are an awesome mountain area..have spent some time over there, not as much as others, but a really neat area...

Take care

Ripp
