.357 Mag Is Enough Gun

Even on big bears.  And 679 pounds of bear is big.  As long as you do your part. 

JM, you should have invited me up.  I suspect there is a bear or 2 in your area.

But I would have used a rifle.

Caught on tape: Black bear steals donuts

A hungry black bear is caught Chowing down on a box of donuts at a family's home in Hendersonville, North Carolina.

A Pennsylvania man reportedly killed a 679-pound black bear that was five yards away with a .357 handgun during last weekend's opening of the state's four-day bear harvest.

Jordan M. Tutmaher, the man, said the bear emerged near a Christmas tree patch, according to the report. YourErie.com reported.

A total of 1,241 black bears were killed in the opening day, the report said. The state's best opening day was in 2011 when 1,936 bears were harvested.

The largest bear harvested that day was a male estimated at 704 pounds, taken by a rifle at about 8:30 a.m., the report said.

Bears have been harvested in 53 counties during the statewide season so far, the report said.

Yes, I agree it seems to prove the versatility and sufficiency of the .357 Magnum Caliber.
Every day, men who will follow orders to kill you, exercise. Do you?

You can kill a bear with a .22 but that does not make it a good choice. I'd like to know which ammo the guy was using and how many shots fired
