keep in mind the bears best form of protection is there sense of smell. Are you in a tree?

Yea I'm in my ladder stand.

They say honey burn is very effective where you make a small fire w/ honey that smokes. I wouldn't know myself, or rotten fish will bring them in from miles away, wouldn't know myself,

Yea I've heard that but to bad thats illegal in my state

my state too.

Take a look at our selection of scopes here Rifle Scopes, have you looked at Vortex at all??

Vortex are good scopes even the lower end crossfire 2. Some Vortex scopes come w/ a less than I like eye relief in the 3.5 range like some of the Diamond back scopes. The crossfire 2 come w/ 4" and the Viper's. You get into the Viper line of scopes bring your wallet. Thanks for asking.

Wacoleqb, hows that Burris working for you?

Sighted it in almost 2 weeks ago and it seems to be just fine. The optics are pretty clear. For the price of it you can't beat the Fullfield.
