[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 3112615, member: 1546"] Oh geeze. Some of yall must think black bear are wearing body armor and hopped up on PCP. I believe it comes from lack of experience mostly. I see similar replies in the "what to use for hogs" thread also. Unless you are going to try and snatch a cub from a sow (female bear) you won't be in a self defense situation. It is common for a black bear to climb up the tree or the ladder to a hunters stand and they tell it "go away" and the bear quickly retreats. Sounds like some of you would be wetting your panties. The .308 or .30-06 will do just fine. (The calibers, I didn't pay attention to optics on those rifles that close) Plus you can practice a lot without breaking the bank. [/QUOTE]
