300 Savage Big Enough for Black Bear?
This is my first year bear hunting and the only rifle I have is a 300 hundred savage. Is this big enough for a black bear? Also what is the Min. draw weight that a bow should be to hunt black bear?

300 Savage is plenty for bears. Load her up with a good 150-180gr bullet, and it'll anchor 'em no problem. By a good bullet I mean a Nosler Partition, Accu-Bond, Barnes TSX, etc. I'd stay away from Ballistic tips and such.
For the minimum weight of a bow I'd say 50lbs. Check the regs where you will be hunting.
