I was beginning to wonder why we had some vacant street corners off the 202 lately. I thought maybe they migrated over to San Diego for the winter.

The black bear I shot was about 200 yards away and weighed about 200 pounds, maybe a little less. It was feeding and facing away when I shot. The bullet hit in the back just off of the spine and below the shoulder, it went about 10 feet and died. The bullet was a 120gr Barnes original X Bullet out of a 7 Rem Mag going about 3350. The only other bear I have seen shot was a young grizz that was maybe 500-600 #'s. It was hit broadside just behind the shoulder at about 150 yards from a 338 Winchester Mag as it fed on the bank of a river on some discarded salmon. When it was hit it jumped into the river then spun around and went into the willows. We gave it an hour and crossed over and it was laying just barely ten feet from shore.

Casey, I have a place I camp at (when I'm lucky enough to get a tag) which is at the end of a road. Two years ago every morning about an hour before sunrise there would be a steady stream of trucks and ATV's pull into my camp and head out, pretty frustrating but it all worked out.

I know the Havalon has a loyal following but the blades seem small and tricky to replace.

Very cool bear and great story.

I ended up getting the Edge Pro and gave it to my son for his birthday on Sunday. Everyone had to hold it and he was pretty happy so thanks everyone for the input.

I had a Havalon and donated it to the other AZ hunter website about 4 years ago.

I'd like to hear how the Athlon compares to the other scopes. I had not even heard of them until about four months ago.

I brine Javelina and age it in the refrigerator for about a week, once you get past about 8-9 days it starts to go downhill.

Happy Birthday Amanda.

Critters got to eat too.

Sounds like an adventure, which reminds me I need to buy another bonus point soon.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome.

Welcome Rudy. With a Champ permit I would think you would be ok but hold me to it. http://www.arizonahoal.org/ might be able to point you in the right direction.

I read about it last weekend, glad they caught the perps.

That stinks, did you have a name and phone number on it?

Bashas had London Broil yesterday for $2.99 lb if you get the two pack.

LOL, you look like Abduls bride.

That sounds good, minus the veggies and thankfully no beans.

You mean Redhead, aka China/use once/ throw away stuff?

Pay scale is way too low for someone with those skillsets by $10 an hour.

They always had good reviews and came highly recommended by quite a few people. Then earlier this year there was a posted by someone who was disgruntled, and it sounded justified. Then a few people piled on. I personally have had not them do any work on my guns. Since I'm a poor working stiff.

Sweet.

Very cool, is that an old Remington Semi?
