One of the best 35 cal bullets for bear, deer and the like. Only shot one bear so far with them and it was great. It's been a while since I used the Whelen and have to get it out again soon.
It has worked fine since I did this with no issues with the bears. I did lose a camera to a bear, I could see where it had been but had been ripped off of the tree and was gone. Surprisingly the moose are almost as bad, they come up and stick their big noses on the camera.
