Man, he had to be jokin. A 17 HMR. That is nuts. I know, I tracked a non-dead bear once. It was a little more excitement than I was lookin for. Probably a good thing your schedules don't mesh.

Kt, I wish he was kidding!!!! He seems to think that his 17 is the next best thing to sliced bread. He is the same one that thinks I'm out of my mind for wanting a 338 win mag.

I've heard of guys that were tough enough to bear hunt with a switch, sounds like your friend thinks he is one of this kind and he will need to be. I have dropped 1300 lb steers, many 300 lb hogs in their tracks with a .22 cal long rifle by the precise shot placement between and just above their eyes. This was made easy and possible with a feed pan , corral, distance of about 10 feet, the animals were calm and domesticated but I would never advocate using a .22 or .17 to hunt any thing but small game. Your friend is one mixed up fella if he is serious, I hope he is only tormenting you!!

Is it even legal to hunt bear with a 17? In NC you cant hunt big game with a rimfire

to smal l a gun is always a problem / to large a gun is not a problem/ especally with bear/my back up gun for bear is a 458 lott because i shot my first grizz with a 338 with 250 grain slugs and it took 4 shots to stop him/ of course black bear is another story but better to be over gunned than have a problem and a wounded bear that you have to go find or worse leave him out there wounded to run into someone else// 17 don't be ridiculous
