Wife and I just returned for her first black bear hunt at lake Williston 250 KM north of Prince George.
Seen over 70 bears all shapes and sizes
Baby Bears
Mama Bears
Papa Bear

Pat got a 6’1″ bear with a nice dark muzzle. She used a 7mm-08 Vanguard
with 1 140 grain North Fork on Varget, In and out through the shoulder.
1 shot DRT, I was in trouble because I knew mine would probably run a few yards and would have to hear about it the rest of the week.
Sure enough the next day we found a nice guy with a 8″x12″ white V on his chest.
I used a Ruger #1 in 45-70 with a Hornady 250 grain GMX on IMR 4198, though the shoulder quartering to me, in and out. He went 15 yards almost straight down a hill.
Seen lots of other critters, moose, lynx, porcupine, beaver, mountain goat, and large variety of birds.
It was a great week.
