Twelve Pointer
When I dog hunted I carried a 12 guage slug gun
Good advise, don't be a suck up but the best way to get an invite not to come back is piss off the dog handlers in the bear crowds . Do something that jeopardizes the dogs and usually it doesn't go well. Especially if you went against previously given advise.As a owner of bear hounds the best advice I or anybody else can give you is listen to the guy that you are hunting with/owner of the hounds he is not going to steer you wrong do that and you will have a good hunt and be invited back. You hunting the coast or the mountains?
That was my primary rifle for years, great headshot rifle and usually won't damage a skull bad enough for taxidermy work or for measurement if you into that. I never was.I hunted the Ruger 44 in my early teens. Great rifle.
Mountains. I talk to the guy several times a week, ask questions about anything I can, and he mentions stuff he doesn’t want me forgetting. Pretty good dynamic cuz I’m not ashamed of being the new guy and he’s good about wanting to teach me .As a owner of bear hounds the best advice I or anybody else can give you is listen to the guy that you are hunting with/owner of the hounds he is not going to steer you wrong do that and you will have a good hunt and be invited back.

Ima check that outIf you’re looking to buy a new gun, those ruger 44 carbines are perfect for chasing bears with dogs
You are in a good position, hopefully you will enjoy it for years to come. Again you better start saving up for those kennels. LolMountains.

I don't think they make em anymore, but they are deer slayers too. Kind of getting to be collectible i believe.Ima check that out
You better be setting down when you do.Ima check that out
Yeah I checked it out. That ship has sailed my friendYou better be setting down when you do.
I'm telling you, check out the handi rifles in your choice of calibers, they are all over for couple hundred dollars . There will be a dog handler within feet of the bear when it hits the ground to make sure no dogs are hurt . If you don't like the gun I will buy it from you weather I need it or not. I have killed many with all types of weapons and I will not leave the road with out my 45/70 synthetic handiYeah I checked it out. That ship has sailed my friend
not hound hunting but hunting over baits in Maine. Had a conversation with my buddy who I'm hunting with and he has talked me out of the 7mag. Our baits he has started are going to be 15 to 20 yards and not best round for such a.short distance. Dusting off the 06 best choice of what I have in safe. His top recommendation was.45 70 but I don't own one.As a owner of bear hounds the best advice I or anybody else can give you is listen to the guy that you are hunting with/owner of the hounds he is not going to steer you wrong do that and you will have a good hunt and be invited back.

You ain’t kidding!!!You better be setting down when you do.
I wouldnt recommend a single shot for bear hunting. You may not alwas have a back up man there. And a crippled bear aint no thing to play with. I wouldnt want to trust my life to somebody backing me up. A bear in a tree can be on the ground bayed when you get there or you start to one bayed may be treed when you get there. Man that travels fastest goes alone.I'm telling you, check out the handi rifles in your choice of calibers, they are all over for couple hundred dollars .

Nine out of ten times I will be setting there waiting on the shooter and I hunt the thickest coastal land nc has to offer. If my hounds are involved I will be within feet of the bear or the tree . Quickest way to not get invited back is to shoot before I say to . If the shooter does as I say it will be over quickly. I do not believe in multiple shots when dogs are everywhere. There should be a maximum of two shots . The second one will be in the skull at very close range .it may take several attempts for everything to be "right" but I have all day . As far as the gun I want one with a hammer and no safety that will not jam or misfire and will shoot no matter what.I wouldnt recommend a single shot for bear hunting.

He may be the man with the dogs in a couple seasons. No really right or wrong gun i just wouldnt want to be trying to reload with a bear eating my dogs up or me eitherNine out of ten times I will be setting there waiting on the shooter and I hunt the thickest coastal land nc has to offer.

The 35 Whelen is a powerful caliber. With proper bullets good for deer all the way up to the big bears. I have used to take 6 bears & over 100 hogs.Remington 7600 pump in 35 Whelen,,on gunbroker for 7 to 900 range..one of the best brush/bear guns made
With the drop onnthat stock and how high the scope it mounted it looks like it will be a difficult combo to shoot.
