Q: What is the best factory loaded bullet for 7mm rem mag deer/bear hunting?
The 150gr. Federal using Sierra Game King looks good, but what is a bullet that will not come apart at velocities of +3100fps? I heard Remington’s core lokts have that problem
A: I’d be very happy with loads using any of these:
Barnes TSX from 140-160gr or 150gr Tipped TSX(not sure if these are in factory loads yet)
Nosler Partition 150-175gr or E-Tip 150gr
Winchester XP3 160gr
Trophy Bonded Bearclaw or TB Tip. 160-175gr
Hornady’s Gilding Metal Expanding(GMX) would be alright in 139gr but it they have a 150gr or heavier one yet I’d pick it
The Federal Premium Vital-Shok line has most of these.
Winchester Supreme has the E-Tip and XP3
Just my opinion but I don’t much like light to medium weight plain cup & core bullets in the small and/or fast magnums. For any game animal larger or tougher then deer at least the HEAVY conventional bullets or good premium designs are a better choice.
Q: Bear Hunting Holiday Help?
what do you or the hunting place do after youve killed a big game like a bear or something big, like how do you get it out of the woods, and do you have to eat it all, beause out of all the game killed you cant eat it all, and do you take any of it home
A: ohhh boy this is where the real work begins.
you drag them out, yes i said drag. after the downed bear is found you field dress it. then you drag it out to the neaarest road or trail and hopfully set it in to your atv and drive it back to camp, where its butchered and eaten- bear will taste just fine you might like it more than beaf who knows ; )
Q: Which gun would be best for hunting a big game animal like a bear?
A: I would go with a remington 700 in .300 WSM it has a flat trajectory and a high velocity. And it has the knock down capabilities to handle grizzly if you hit vitals.
Q: What are the best hunting dogs(more info than yesterday)?
Ok, I am in the lower peninsula of Michigan, and I would be hunting big game(deer, bear) and MAYBE some birds.I would like a dog to be great at hunting but also a very nice dog(to me). Which is the best hunting dog for me and the terrain im on.
I was thinkin a lab or something, or maybe a bloodhound
A: Well you’re trying to get double and triple duty out of a single dog. Most are trained to do one thing and do it very well. When I used to use dogs on deer, when it was still legal in my state that is, I had several Weimerainer’s. They were quite good at circling deer and hogs. I wouldn’t know about bear. I found them to be very good with people, and focused on the hunt. As another reader said, they aren’t really bred to retrieve but will with a lot of work.
For retrieving, I have used Brittany Spaniels and Labs. The Britts were a little rambunctious and if not worked every day they tended to get a little rowdy.They also were very one person types as were the Weimers. The labs are what I settled on and I still train and raise them. Talk about a family dog, they will walk right up to a toddler and lick them in the face and if the kiddo falls they’ll pick him right back up. They are very bright and depending on what you get they can have quite a lot of character. I had a chocolate that would sneak birds away from my buddies and bring em to me when they weren’t looking. He was something. Everyone loved him, but learned to count their birds when he came around.
Good Hunting and good luck!
Q: Pitbull Fighting vs. Bear Hunting?
I’m asking this question on behalf of someone else.
In terms of killing animals unjustly, why is pitbull fighting illegal, and the killing of wild game such as bears legal? Why is turkey hunting legal, but bird fighting illegal?
A: Hunting animals by humans in the wild during sanctioned hunts (ie: not poaching) serves a decent purpose, it helps keep population levels in a range that allows them to be healthy. Over population can cause sickness, starvation and depletion of natural resources. In other words too much of a good thing can be just as bad as too little.
Animals in the wild have their wits about them and can evade hunting and even if spotted have a decent chance at getting away. While they may not ask to be hunted, they generally are not kept in a corral for you to shoot at whenever you want. (The exception to this are hunt farms- those I think should be outlawed!)
Pitbulls are bred to fight. They are given no opportunity to escape from the people fighting them. They are subjected to horrific training practices such as bite training where their jaws lock on a target attached to a spring and hung from a rafter in a garage, provoked into attacking weaker dogs and sometimes puppies, being starved, beaten -I could go on..but you get the idea.
There really is no comparison between hunting and pit fighting. I hope this helps.
Q: What’s the best Bow for hunting Bears or larger game?
The Ultimate Bow!?!
I just want to know, i love bears and im not going to hunt them. Bears are really big and well i cant go hunt Dinosaurs duh.
A: Each person has his or her own idea of the ultimate bow. Just use one that suits you, has enough draw weight to do the job, and you can shoot accurately. And be sure you have an adequate broadhead for bear on the end of the arrow.
Q: is there any hunting games out for the 360 that plays like tho old games did?
what i mean is i want a good hunting game like the ones for the ps2 where you picked you equipment and stuff then it put you in front of a lodge and said hunt it didnt say ok their is a dear right in front of you shoot it and it will open a cutscene where a bear will attack you and other gay crap. the first dangerous hunts was like this and i loved it but i cant find any for the 360 the new big game hunter is arcadey and tells you where to go all the time
A: I believe Cabelas has a game out. Comes with a gun.
Q: What brand of bolt action rifle is the best for hunting and what is the best for military?
Hunting large game like, deer, elk, buffalo, bear. Sako? watherby? Remington? Browning? Winchester? Ruger? Kimber? ect……
A: You dident list anything that wont work just your choice on slight difereces in function, looks (admit it guys it matters) fit, weight and any other criteria you chose oh, also pocket book. caliber is your choice in any of them. just pick a caliber that will ethicaly kill what you are hunting. militay the m24 (m700 rem) is an exelent gp rifle for snipers. in my day we carried m21 (accurised m14) it was not quite as accuate as the m24 but has its stringths. no mater what one guy chooses some other guy says his is better and can prove it with facts. but what matters most is the shooter. the snipers of ww11 used rifles that would hardly be considerd “snipers rifles” today but noone can say they werent effective. there is no such thing as a sniper rifle, there are snipers and the equipment they use.
Q: How dangerous is Black Bear hunting? ?
I recently took the NY state hunter education course as a refresher and the instructors described black bear hunting as dangerous, to the extent that I always thought grizzly bear hunting would be. For example they said that other bears can come in after a shot is fired and these bears will potentially stalk hunters that shot at them if they are not killed. Is hunting black bear often a dangerous experience? I know that all bears deserve respect but have any of you encountered dangerous black bears afield? I have little field experience but would like to hunt these animals with the appropriate caliber rifle and cartridge as well as plenty of “range practice” is it a bad choice of game animal to start with?
I appreciate all of the informative responses and personal experiences that you shared. In New York you are not allowed to bait game. Regarding bear meat how does it compare to venison?
A: I am glad I did not take a hunter ed course in NY. It sounds as though you were fed a lot of misinformation.
You have to respect an animal that can turn you into it’s dinner. But, they are not going to stalk you just because they were shot at.
You should use a rifle caliber as large as you can shoot accurately. Shot placement is more important than rifle caliber. Anything .270 and larger, with a well-placed and accurate shot, will kill a black bear. They have been taken with smaller calibers, but I would not recommend it.
If you do shoot a bear, wait a short time before you approach. Watch to see if it is breathing. Approach from behind before checking it physically. This will give you an advantage if it does get back up. If its eyes are closed, it IS NOT dead. Animals do not die with their eyes closed. I have always been of the mindset that another round into the vitals never hurts. Good luck and be safe.
Q: What hunting rifle should i buy? mossberg 100 atr or the marlin xl7/xs7?
i think im leaning towards the marlin because ive had a lot of good experience with them, but id still like the input. also what size round would you reccomend, 30-06, 308, or 7mm-08 i plan on hunting the larger game like bear, elk, caribou, moose, and buffalo.
A: Of these I would go with the marlin in 308. Less recoil so it is easier to shoot accurately. I agree with the guy who says to look at a savage, very accurate out of the box. Remember accuracy is what really counts, a miss with any caliber is a wasted shot.

Q: Can you train hunting dogs to point/flush and retrieve birds and big game?
I was just wondering if it is possible to train a hunting dog to point/flush and retrieve birds such as waterfowl and upland birds and also train them to hunt big game possessing two skills in one dog? I am trying to get two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, but would like them to hunt birds and bay big game such as deer and bears. So, with that said, is it possible to have them learn both hunting skills or is it only one skill or the other?? Thanks!
A: Dogs usually cannot be trained to do both because once he comes across another scent like a deer while bird hunting he will run off on that trail….unless he is like a blood hound trained to chase one scent.
Get yourself 2-3 dogs……because deer hunting is about being quiet unless you use the dog to drive the deer like mine. My black lab is amazing…..he is a great water dog for ducks and he loves to chase deer and anything else you let him scent sniff. I let a buddy hold him until I get in position at the clearing south of a about 100acres of woods and then we let him lose on the North side and he tracks all deer in the woods and flushes them out to the clearing were I take them down. He also will flush quail,dove and retrieve them cause he has a super nose.
I could never find a bird in the tall grass or wheat without him……..He is just so damn smart. When I get my gun he gets excited and goes and gets my boots……..
Q: breeds that were originally bred to hunt bear and big game?
im writing a story and want to have some of those breeds in it could you give me a list of some and a general description of their temperament? oh and what it was they hunted?
doesnt have to be a breed still used for it. thanks
A: “The Karelian Bear Dog is skillful, tough, and energetic. A robust, persistent, and powerful dog, it is willing to take on virtually any game animal.”
http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/karelianbeardog.htm
“The Ainu dog is intelligent and quickly trained. This large game hunter is extremely courageous for its size, willing to attack a 650 pound bear!”
http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/ainudog.htm
“In the late 19th century, big game hunters needed a hunting dog that was tough, resistant to disease, and intelligent enough to avoid crocodiles and snakes, but brave and fast enough to face a lion.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesian_Ridgeback
Q: Why is it legal to “hunt” captive animals, while bear baiting and rooster fighting are illegal?
First of all, let’s clarify my position: I support traditional hunting and fishing, and champion the concept of sportsmanship and stewardship of natural resources. I enjoy eating meat, and appreciate ecology and the natural beauty of fauna. Traditional hunting has many beneficial aspects.
Private hunting reserves – game ranches – deer farms: these are commercial sites where “hunters” pay to kill captive animals. Presumably the outcome is guaranteed by the proprietors.
A fighting cock has a chance to survive. A captive bear has a chance to kill one of its attackers. These barbaric “sports” have been outlawed for centuries in most places.
What could be the motive to “hunt” captive animals, other than the joy of seeing something die? Do you think of someone as more manly who kills captive animals on hunting ranches? Am I missing some redeeming aspect of this activity?
Maybe by releasing their agression on an animal, they avoid doing so on a fellow human? Or does it stimulate it?
Sorry – Yahoo has chosen to edit my traditional term for the male rooster and replace it with askerisks. It wasn’t my choice to spell it this way.
Interesting point, “Mass brain”. Maybe we should start a discussion on the morality of the situation depicted in the movie “The Running Man”, with politicians or lawyers instead of criminals as the targets… There are some parallels.
Good answer there, “DamDawg”. I guess it all hinges on the definition of “shooting fish in a barrel” and how you define it.
I haven’t researched this too much, but my understanding is that most of these private reserves are pretty close to what you are describing here. Do you have any data to share?
I have seen some video footage of bow-and-arrow “hunters” shooting deer in a manner that looked very cruel and very much like “shooting fish in a barrel”.
I think that, if the proprietor guarantees the outcome, then it is more likely to be unsporting.
Hey There Wazant1 -
You too have some interesting points. If you are a traditional hunter, I respect that, as I previously stated.
You discussed the increasing efficiency of hunting techniques. I wonder how much something is a “sport” when the outcome is guaranteed.
Why is it fun to shoot an animal under controlled conditions but not at a slaughterhouse? How close do the two facilities need to become before we cross the line?
Have you heard about the internet game preserves, where you can kill an animal from the internet, via robotically controlled rifle? Has that crossed the line?
A: As space open to the public for hunting shrinks this will most likely become a bigger issue. The vast majority of pheasant hunted in America today are domestically reared. There are almost no wild pheasant left. Are these pheasant treated any less humanely than the millions of chickens consumed by Americans every year? I don’t think so. At least the pheasants enjoy a little freedom.
Also stocking trout is common everywhere—isn’t this a form of hunting?
Today there are more ducks than ever in history because “Ducks Unlimited” a private hunting club, has purchased important properties to protect the wild ducks’ flyways. Are they wrong to then hunt some of these ducks—I don’t think so.
I am not sure about hunting larger domestic/wild game. I suppose it depends on how they are treated and if they are humanely hunted in a relative free environment. If it’s shooting fish in a barrel I am against it.
As for Rooster fighting, bear baiting, dog fighting and such, I am against them because the animals are generally kept in awful conditions and the animals are allowed to maul each other and suffer great pain just for the thrill of it. It brings out the worst in man and beast. Hunting on the other hand is as old as man.
PS. I would tend to agree with you that a guaranteed outcome would indicate that the animal was not given enough free range. I am against any kind of caged hunting and I guess that might include small ranches with game-fences.
