Bear Hunting in Idaho with a Knight Muzzleloader

 Dustin's Bear taken with a .52 caliber Long Range Hunter.

Dustin took down this monster black bear in Idaho using his trusty Knight Muzzleloader Rifle. In 2006, Dustin was black bear hunting when he spotted this bulky bruin lurking. Once the black bear came into clear view, he knew this day of bear hunting was going to end with a bang. Dustin took down the beast with his .52 Caliber Knight Long Range Hunter Rifle.

"I used 120 grains of triple 7 and a 325 grain barnes bullet," Dustin said. "Recovery was only 4 yards from point of impact."

Bear hunting is always better when you have a reliable hunting rifle, and Dustin learned that bagging these animals is worth the challenge.  Experienced hunters know that bear hunting takes skill and patience, and being able to take a clear shot makes the difference between a trophy bear and a disastrous day of hunting.
