your truck gun

 In NM its way different. Bears can get as big as a Volkswagen.

The biggest bear I've seen down here was like 250-300 pounds.

I've hunted hogs in FL bigger than that.

Now, I'm not saying that there aren't any bigger than that in FL, I'm just saying that I haven't seen any. The one's I've seen in the wild look like racoons. compared to the one and only I seen in NY that bitch was huge!

Big as a Volkswagen eh?  How do I top that?  Well, Ours down here are as big as a riding mower!  Hmm..  Doesn't quite do it does it?   

Topic tie in:  Which is why you need a truck gun.

Lol, its not the size of the bullet, its how you place it. Uhm, I did a post on this, so if any one wants to talk about their bear experiences and what not, go there. We are going off topic lol. But yes, Truck gun necessary for bear.

a well placed m855 round kills black bears going through your trash just fine........

 Ever see a pissed brown bear in person?  I'd rather not bet my life on an assault rifle round...even 30 of them. Most guys I know in AK sling a 12 gauge with slugs close encounters with brown death. Yeah, you may kill him with that hardball ammo......tomorrow.

[mountainredneck2051]

yeah, you don't even consider any bears bigger than a blackie, if all you got is a 5.56 or 7.62x39

i've been in bed with fever for a week now

Even with 154 grain 7.62x39?  I've never been close to a grizzly but I think I'd go with the slugs as well.  When they come at you I'll bet they look like a locomotive on a downhill run.

 Ive always thought about slugs against huge bears. Would a slug penetrate thick skull? Rather than a more narrow round, which doesnt add up in my head. But for real though, would you guys feel safer with a slug?

When you are sitting in an f-250 and the bear flatfooted is looking you in the eye....you don't want anything that's just going to zip a hole...you want serious thump. Brownies are funny though if they have fish on the brain they pretty much ignore you.....now when YOU are on that little pea brain...look out.

Man, I'd hate to run into one of those things when they weren't thinking about fish.  I know they make a bear repellant spray but who knows how well that works.  I'd just about rather use a hand held tazer against one.  I might get zapped as well but at least the bear would think twice about chomping on me again after he regains his composure.

Edit:  How many brown bears are out west.  I mean, do you see them occasionally or are they something you hear about but hardly ever see?

[mountainredneck2051]

in colorado they are pretty much thought to be non existant

even though i saw a grizzly just 6 months ago, and every year hunters report seeing them


however north of us and up all have the browns grizzlies and such

Unless it is too unweildly in your truck a lever-action .30-30 would make both two-legged and 4-legged predators think twice.

the problem is there is more of them than 6 of them, i sure as fuck don't want to come up against more guys than my magazine even has


btw, i dropped the glock and am using a M&P9 now
