I will be bow hunting this year in a new place that has lots of black bear activity. In this area last year a bear took possession of a deer a fellow shot with his bow and the fellow decided to let the bear have it because of it's aggressive behavior. There have been enough people tell me of bears that have harassed them and showed aggression even running them out of the woods and even climbing up trees they were in and some from the way they talked I know have shot them with their bows and have said noting about it even though they were justified in the act not wanting to deal with the red tape. It is legal if you have a handgun carry permit to carry a pistol while bow hunting "for your protection" against anything man or beast. I decided to brew up some new bear attitude adjustment pills to deliver from my attitude adjustment tool which is a Ruger Black Hawk 5 1/2" barrel 45 Colt. Loaded up some 300 gr Speer JSP in new Remington nickel cases with 20.5 grs H110 fired with a CCI 350 primer. Was shooting off hand at 10 yards and could keep them inside 1". They should be doing between 1000 and 1050 fps. I think this may adjust the attitude of most anything with violence against my body on it's mind that walks the woods. :mrgreen:
