RE: Alternative Bear hunting tactics.
I too live in ID. As a teenager, we used to go into the Tetons on the other side of the state near WY. We only used knives, so you had to sneak up behind the Grizzly without it seeing you. That gets the old ticker thumping pretty good. But it does qualify under the "fair chase" ideology. I'm too old for that nonsense now, but in a way feel using a 338 WM would be lame and cheating.
