Here in Washington we can hunt bear and Cougars at the same time, also yotes. I have used a 300 winny for many years, but I am thinking of using a 243 with 80/100 grain soft points as kind of a combo gun for these hunts. I wont shoot a bear unless it is huge or I call it and want to remember the calling of a bear.
What do ya all think? I have never killed an animal with it. Is this nuts calling in bear country with a little gun?
I hate the idea of blowing a 6 inch hole thru a cougar hide (if I use the 300).
As always I appreciate your input.
