I was hunting Sat. evening about 70 yards from a railroad, I just happened to look over at the tracks and could not believe what I saw. It was a very large black bear just walking down the tracks, I could not believe it. I had heard that we were starting to get them in are area but have never in my life saw one until now, very exiting. My quaestion's are, we are only allowed to kill males, what are some features that will help me identify a male and also I will be deer hunting with a new .243, could this be used on a black bear shooting 100g. Core Lokt, would switching to a Federal Nosler be helpful. Thanks hope to get a chance at one of these bears.
