Solid 9. I gotta deduct 1 for choice of gun. a S&W Model 29 or 629 or Ruger Single Action Blackhawk would have gotten you the Comaneci.

You've started a small disagreement here though: Wife grew up in the monadnock, hunted and fished all over and swears that's Pittsburgh. I grew up in Grafton county, and say that's Easton. Don't expect coordinates to your spot, but would you mind picking a winner, lol.

You eat the heart? NASTY!
Did you keep the skin or just haul the meat out? What are you going to do with the skin if you kept it? Rug? Coat? Mount it on the wall? |

The 44 smoked it I also don't own a lever gun. One day I should jump into it |

I've seen bear hunting archery near Jim Thorpe PA but that was 5-6 years ago. Can't hunt that spot anymore as it was sold. This is the first year I got my bear licence and I've been scouting public lands. All locals saying it gets flooded during bear. Need to keep looking for a spot! |

Talk to some local hunters and game wardens on why kind of bait those bear like. All bears are different . Tons of natural foods in New Hampshire which does not help |
