Kia took this one this weekend, using her dad's beowulf carbine which she chose because of the ergonomics and lack of perceived recoil [ according to her ]

going to be a rug in her bedroom and they say it has been good eating as well.

her dad's buddy also took a large black bear using a spear this weekend, a 'one shot ' kill also

I get the whole Beowulf thing for bear. Pretty nifty that a lil' ol' thing like that can handle the rifle and make the shot. What I DON'T get is gigging for bears. Sheesh! The whole point of firearms is to NOT have to gig 'em!

She looks really pleased, can't say for the Bear, but a nice rug it will make...

Henry Shakespear wrote the book on hunting game with a spear or sword/rifle pistol dagger (He did it all) from horseback. He onse killed a jaguar that had lept upon his back while he was still astride his horse...killed it with his shamsir sword and dagger...
