Wow. What’s the standard caliber for shooting them?

This bear weighs 657lbs., and he may be a state record for Wisconsin. He was taken in western Wisconsin, near a town called Ettrick.

Sounds like something bigger than a 30-06 might be advisable.
No way would I hunt bear with a bow. At least not without a high caliber sharpshooter backing me up.

Thanks. I just don’t think I would have the nerve to hunt a bear.
