I have had 5 Grizzly encounters in the last 2 years during archery elk season in MT.
I carry a 629S&W with 305gr hard casts for medicine. They need to let us hunt them so they don't keep thinking we may be food! 3S's!
It kinda makes your hair stand up when you see a sow running toward you at 40yds in timber because she thinks your calf and cow calls sound yummy!
