I'm doing a black bear hunt with a few friends this year (in PA). I'll be using my Ruger Super Blackhawk or possibly my Colt Anaconda. I'm using the .44 mag rather than my 500 s&w because a few of the guys carry .44 as well. I was hoping that you guys could recommend some good ammo. I do reload, but for this I would really like to use factory ammo just in case one of the guys I'm hunting with needs to borrow ammo.
My second question is gear related. The area we hunt is pretty swampy, so I'd like to get a set of chest waders. Obviously I'd like them to be comfortable to walk around in. It's a ground hunt, so there is a lot of walking. It's also in November in Pennsylvania, so it's cold and there is even a possibility that there will be snow on the ground. Does anyone have any recommendations?
As far as knives go, my 4 inch fixed blade is good? It's what I use for deer.
Last question. Does anyone have a recommendation for a chest holster for the Ruger Super blackhawk? Chances are that is the gun I am going to bring. If I dropped my Anaconda in the swamp and couldn't find it I don't think I would be able to live with myself!
If you guys have any other recommendations for gear, I'm all ears! Thanks in advance for your help guys.
