If they are used to you baiting then bait it make a little noise go sit down and shoot the bear. I killed a bear 7 minutes after baiting and making noise in Idaho a couple years ago. Bonus points if you can talk someone into walking in with you and then make some noise on the way out.
This for an adult or kid? My Dad has that one and my only gripe is that big tall rail, my kid has to hold his head off of the gun to see the dot...head just floating no contact with gun.
I ended up with a Ruger American Gen 2 and the kids loves shooting it suppressed with subs. Haven’t shot anything with it yet but will be slaying prairie dogs in WY hopefully in June and maybe even a bear if I can get one coming to bait in ID.
Decided to run up on the ridge this evening after work. Yelped for a couple hours and nothing, but didn’t expect gobbles in the evening. Finally I decided to make anything around jealous and decided to do a gobble just with my mouth. A big boy lit up about 70 yards behind me. I grabbed a wing...
Bought and patterned yesterday. Got a ridge running gobbler this evening! Could have made the same shot with the Stevens. Just stopped here to brag LOL
Dad has a Stevens. Amazing gun for like $200. We killed 6 birds with it this year. Amazing little gun. Maybe it’s from bird hunting with a single shot when I was young but I can get another shell in pretty darn quick. That being said I picked up a Mossberg 500 Turkey with the red dot in .410...
My Dad got a weatherby in 7 Backcountry that he topped with a Zeiss 5-25. He shot it for the first time last night. We zeroed it with 3 shots and he was stacking bullet holes at 200 yds. He loves the gun. I shot it once and it felt great. Were shooting it suppressed. 20” barrel will post chrono...
