Good stuff here! Thanks for al the knowledge!

Got the kids on a couple little Idaho boars last week. Spot and stalk style. Both made perfect 1 shot kills, 480 and 365 yards respectively. Two legs on the smoker right now, so hoping it tastes as delicious as it smells!

Nice job, very cool!!

Nice! Which gun dod they end up using?

I'd thought about taking the little 2.25lb 223rem AR15 with the 77tmk bullets... but I pretty much limit that rifle to 400 yards and in, 300 yards is even more realistic. It's so lightweight that it's not always the easiest gun to shoot... and I know spring bear spot and stalk hunts inevitably will yield shots beyond 400 yards that I'd rather have a bullet with a higher BC that can buck the wind just a bit better.

Thats what I was curious about. Its a sweet little gun though. Awesome the kids got bears! Dang good shots for anyone to make let alone kids!

Im hoping to get out soon to chase some
