Great cat and an awesome experience for the girls. You are doing it right.

I have eaten bear meat a lot. I prefer it ground up as breakfast sausage or in pepper sticks. I think it has better flavor than any pork I have ever eaten. As the poster above stated, make sure it it is thoroughly cooked. I shot one two years ago that had been eating salmon. That had to be...

I have lived and hunted in Alaska for almost 25 years. I carry a .454 Casull with 360 gr. hardcast in a cross body holster when I am fishing or hiking. While I'm in camp I have a 12 gauge Mossberg Mariner loaded buckshot, slug, buckshot, slug, slug.

This is my latest. I love it. It holds an edge and is really easy to find when you drop it in the grass. http://www.outdooredge.com/SwingBlaze-p/swingblaze.htm

I loaded up some 12 ga bird shot shells with popcorn kernels for a young brown bear that kept coming around the house. One night night he was in the front yard and was trying to get into the back of my wife's truck. I popped him in the hind end with one of the corn rounds and he took off like he...

Moose I shot my first moose with a .308 180gr Remington corlokt. 1 shot in the neck at 150 yds and a whole lot of packing later he was in the truck. I have hunted with a .308 my whole life. I have taken everything from ground squirrels to moose with it anywhere from 25yds to 250yds. Until 5...

I would look into a higher grain bullet for your 44. I carry a 454 casull with 360 gr. hardcast bullets for the bears up here. One thing to remember is, if the bear is charging you, it moves a lot faster than you think. Aim for the front of the shoulders and break the bones. They can still...

That is one thing I really love about Alaska. Four Black Bear a year and NO CLOSED SEASON. This one was taken on the Russian River in the Sanctuary area last spring.

A few more This just came out in the local paper. http://peninsulaclarion.com/news/2012-06-21/bear-sow-and-2-cubs-killed A brown bear sow was shot and killed in defense of life and property by an Arc Loop resident Wednesday, and Alaska Department of Fish and Game officials later...

Taurus Raging Bull 454 Casull "Bear Medicine"

I bought a new 30-06, scope, flip up covers and rings. Took it to the range to sight it in. I fired the first shot, and my world went red and blurry. The lever to flip up the cover hit me square on the bridge of the nose. Hurt like hell and took a chunk of skin with it. I tried some stuff my...
