Most experienced bear hunters know that the charge is a bluff charge. They run up to you (charging) to SCARE YOU. Nine out of ten will be bluff charges. One out of ten will be a really angry bear and it won't be a bluff.

The next decision making lesson is the species of bear. If it's a black bear (no matter it's color) then that 9 out 10 rule "could" apply. If it's a brown (grizzly) then it might be 1 out of 10 is a bluff, but 9 out of ten are REAL charges.

Evolution changed the bears in the world, in order to survive. Black bears are creatures of the forest, and they learned to survive by climbing trees. Brown bears (Grizzly) are animals of the chapperal and brush lands (little to no trees) and they have longer claws for digging into the ground and seldom if ever take to trees (when they're around). So being on the ground with no place to escape, evolution made them aggressive...and since man's at ground level; then it's a fight! With black bears, he takes off and climbs a tree...no fight. That's why there's a difference in real charges and fake charges (bluff charges).

Many law enforcement officers KNOW that hunters will try to cover themselves with reasons (excuses), and many law enforcement officers usually write the citation (which is an arrest) and "might" state to you (as they're writing the citation) "you'll have that opportunity to tell it to the judge." The case may be dismissed in court, or you'll be acquited. BUT you'll always have an arrest record, when ever you fill out a job application or any other similar form.

Is it weird that your boyfriend doesn not call while hunting?

When you are hunting you probably turn your phone off because the point is to get the animal close enough to you to shoot it. Most animals have very keen hearing so if a phone rings or vibrates it would be scared off. That's also why people don't talk while hunting they usually whisper if they need to speak.

Can a 270 rifle be used to shoot kudu?

While the .270 is a little light for kudu,it can still be used.Here in the United States the .270 has killed alot of elk and the greater kudu is much the same size. If it were me I would load the 150gr. nosler partition,or a barnes 150gr triple shock for the game in question.The most important thing in any hunting situation is the ability to put the bullet in the right spot under hunting conditions.If you shoot your 270 accurately then it is better to shoot that then a bigger caliber that you do not shoot as good.
