Excellent work OP.
How do you guys prepare your bear meat? The only bear I've eaten out here was off the grill and it was very greasy... I didn't like it at all. |

What bullet did your son use in his 45-70?

My gf and i eat bear steak often. We always grill them up the same way because we found it was oh so good. Marinate overnight with equal parts oil and vinegar, some Worcestershire, salt and pepper and cilantro. Try it out!

Where was your hunt? Bear hunting is on my to do list.

Now you know why the 450 Bushmaster is a hot commodity in Alaska. It's a light gun and lays the smack down.

Nice! The .450 bushy is a bad motherfucker and gets almost zero respect. I loved mine the moment I got it 10yrs ago.

Waste no day

Nice! I've never shot a bear, but my .450 kills whitetails like a mofo!

Cool post.

We've done a few remington and savage bolt guns may have to try the marlin . They put the smack down on whitetail !

Yeah 45 bushmaster is plenty

You can't bait or dog hunt bears in NY so most of them are just accidental muggings by deer hunters

My sons bear didn't go far, but 60 yards in that cover took us 45 minutes of tracking. We actually bumped it in the dark....decided to back out and come back. It was dead where we heard it "huffing" at us. |

The Lyman cast 330gr Gould mold opens up in my 458 SOCOM. Actually, the front hollow point breaks up into 2-3 parts and the remaining slug keeps on a chugging.

I'll be pretty disappointed if I don't see a thread from you in the future where you made a bear jacket

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Is the .450 Bushmaster powerful enough to hunt Brown bears?

That Ruger Scout in .450 is the sexiest rifle I have held in a long while. Thanks for making it worse, OP.

I shot a black bear in Quebec back in '98 with a Marlin 45/70. I used a handload with a bulk pack Remington 300 gr hp, with a hefty charge of Reloader 7 under it. Shot from a tree stand and it was looking right at me. Bullet went in just under the neck, thru the brisket and front of the rib cage, ended up under the hide in the right hind quarter. Mushroomed almost twice diameter, core stayed in. Bear rolled over, did the death moan and that was that. Love my 45/70 lol.
