should work perfect!!!! where in amine and what guide service???? i dont know of any guides up here that have anyone shooting that far. we set all out baits 15-18 yards and so do most all the guides we know. either way youll be fine out to 5-75 yds no hesitation. some of my cousins and uncles have killed bear w/ that exact animal you speak of. we have a deerfeild but ive only shot deer w/ it. good luck and let 'er eat!
