My 13 y/o daughter drew a pretty good Idaho youth bear tag so we are planning our first ever hound hunting trip. We're pretty excited. I've hunted bears over bait in the past but we've never hunted with dogs. The gun I use for bears over bait is an AR platform in 6.8 SPC with an 18" barrel. Is this the gun she should use for a treed bear? She shoots it well. Or should she use her 7mm-08? She shoots that pretty well too but it recoils more. She's pretty small (4'10", 92lbs). Anything else you guys would recommend?
