Bear season opening this week here in South Georgia. I’m kind of a newbie at it. Guys I hunt with are old hats at it, and they say I’ll be fine.
My Marlin 1894 44 spits out 200 grain Hornadys with crazy accuracy. Heavy bullets, not so good. Are they tough enough for bear? They’ve performed great on large Ohio deer in the past. But what about a potentially 400 pound plus bear at close range? We’ve got some monsters on the trail cams, I’d hate to be undergunned.
Any thoughts?
