Default My Black Bear

Here's a picture of the Black Bear I tagged in Canada last week, first trip away from Australia and thoroughly loved the country, spent a few days in bot Toronto and NYC before my guided hunt started.

This fella is over 500lb, and his skull rough measurements place him around 22"

This was my first ever bear, taken on a non resident tag.

Yes a justified reason, but club, recreation, hunting and agriculture are all valid reasons.

I know people that own into the hundreds, I personally have 223, 243, 308, 300wm, 375ruger, 45/70 and 458wm plus a 12g.

Some states here are harsher than others.

My signature line is because I love hunting with the 45/70 probably the oldest caliber still in commercial production is very popular her in Australia

Congrats on the bear. Glad that you could make it to the great white north and had a great hunt.
