.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

Yes, it is, and he is always with me during my stalking.

He is a Bavarian Mountain Blood Hound, or BGS, acronym for the German name: Bayerische Gebirgs Schweiss Hund (@!#^@#*!@ç!!)

Good tracking dogs are incredibly useful. I have an English Shepherd I trained as a puppy to track. I did have one 77TMK'd deer run for 100+ yards in the woods with no blood trail. She found him in less than a minute (then comes back and finds me and takes me to the animal). It's like hunting with Lassie.

Yes, a dog can be useful. My Lab finds them quick smart. It's ensuring when there is no blood trail with the .223. This one at a couple of hundred yards. Dropped pretty much on the spot. 77TMK.

I think we need a Rokslide tracking dog thread. Then I will follow it daily. I will research the eff out of tracking breeds. I will create a spreadsheet. I will begin the discussion with Mrs fwafwow. I will fail.

Took 2 shots, underpowered.


Needed 5 times the energy to be sufficient.

I’d say it’s pretty sufficient if it’s dead

A lot folks follow up on anything that doesn't immediately drop. Whether it's two shots from a .223 on a brown bear or two shots from a 30-06 on an elk, it's a humane habit.

Shoulda used a Barnes and shot a real man’s rifle.

Bear is the first creature listed?

Also, @Dbevans, did you shoot it in the face or is that just blood by the eye?

Great job. Hope you can provide some details as well as photos of the wound channels.
