Well here it is. The Bear was shot at 40 yards 2 times in the shoulder ran about 25 yards and was grave yard dead. I'm estimating the bear weighed about 250+ lbs. I saw 5 bears today I waited
until I had a good shot it is very brushy in good ol Idaho where I hunted today. The bullet did very nice work of the lungs. |

Tip to Tip length of that bear?
I still think you're crazy idiot but good job! |
|
North Idaho....yes Firsch. Idiot probably.....Bear length was 6ft
|
|
Are you going to process the meat yourself. What about the hide? Rug, wall-mount or what? Nice bear.
|
|
I'm actually a Meat Manager for 2nd largest grocery chain in the USA so yes I will proceess it myself as for a rug I'm not sure
I have it in my freezer still trying to decide. TA-31 is the DONUT OF DEATH!!! that is what reticle it is.... |

Up next:
A vidcap of me hammering railroad spikes with a phonebook. |
|
Translation to English: "SHIVAN has bear hunting envy." ...So does nationwide |
|
|
Hmm........bzzt. Wrong. Should use a better translation program. |

A 6oz brass hammer and a railroad spike would be a better comparison. BTW, is the bear dead? Cause I can't tell for sure. Maybe he's just pretending. |

I'm sure I could get that spike in the ground too.... |
|
|
No he was not dead I shot him with my AIRSOFT pellets he was just letting me take pics.....
|
|
I thought maybe you petted him to sleep. |
|
|
sweet, I'd like to have my own beer skin rug one of these days
|

Oooh ohhh.. let me try! Translation: Going big game hunting with a varment round.... don't be stupid. How'd I do? (and I don't even hunt..... yet ) -LS |
|
|
Damn!!! You're a hell of a guy, SHIVAN! Taking that poor, deer for a ride in your pick up truck! They usually only get to see the grill, and maybe part of the fender... |

Oooh ohhh.. let me try!
Translation: Going big game hunting with a varment round.... don't be stupid. How'd I do? (and I don't even hunt..... yet ) Not stupid.....justed wanted make a point, SHOT placement is the key... |
|
I got one question tho....do they allow hunting in yer state with 30 rnd mags??
|
|
yes you could have a Beta C mag if you wanted too, and for the record any centerfire cartridge is legal to hunt with ind Idaho
|
|
how about a Idaho potato gun?
Please pay no attention to me, I am totally retarded this past couple months. |
|
No one... It just can't kill one fast enough to prevent you from becoming a bear-snack... Note that the target ran 25yds before dying.... There is a big difference between using an AR when hunting a bear, and using an AR when the bear is hunting YOU.... |
|
|
I like animals too much to go killing them for sport, but why a bear? I guess I was hoping for a picture of Janet reno or something.
|
|
Nice kill, but in my opinion you need to pick the right tool for the job next time. You shouldn't need to prove you can kill a bear with a 5.56 carbine, common sense should be enough of an indicator.

I was trying to help you by giving you a decent metaphore. Banging a railroad spike with a phonebook would be a good metaphore for trying to hunt deer with a Nerf football. Hammer- What one would use to pound somthing. = Hammer = also, Hammer = NOT, Hammer Gun/Rifle- What one would use to hunt/kill game with. = Gun/Rifle(courtesy of link) = Gun/Rifle(courtesy of gus) = Gun/Rifle(courtesy of jnewt) = Gun/Rifle(courtesy of redfisher) = Gun/Rifle(courtesy of Mongo001) = Guns/Rifles(courtesy of FreeFall) = NOT, Gun/Rifle See where I was going? |

I've got the pic to prove it. Just waiting on permission from the man who almost became a bear snack. (the pic I'm looking at right now is perfect for this thread, maybe tomarrow he'll let me post it.) |

You can hunt bear in Idaho with a 30 round magazine??? WOW, in Oregon you are limited as to the amount of rounds you can have in the weapon.
Nice bear...Balls of steel my man.... I wouldnt hunt bear with anything else than my .300WM ...JMO. MC |

I viedeo taped a friend of mine shooting a Sasquatch with an SKS firing Wolf SP. He put all 10 rds in the animal & it still ran about 1/4 mile before dying. From the teeth, I'd say it was about 2 yrs old. The Feds took the video & said if we ever talked they would come get us. Yea, right! Someone's at the door. I'll be right back.... |
