RE: Grizzly bear challenge, 100 yard full charge
No much from my arsenal is way up in the high caliber range, just 7Mag.
But here is a short and funny story. Several years ago, a buddy and I went up to Alaska to visit a good bud and we were going to be dropped in the bush for moose. My buddies uncle flew helicoptors in and out from the north shores and we spent the night at his place before we flew out the next day. We were pumped for the hunt and talking about many things, and somehow I mentioned that a friend back home sent his .357 along with me just for the heck of it. Something to either carry or have in camp, or whatever. So this guy goes on to tell me that I should file the front sight off of it, and he was a serious as all get out, and stupid me asked why in the "H" would I want to do that, muchless on a gun I don't even own......he said that because when the grizz takes it and shoves it up my a$$ it wouldn't hurt so much! LOL...
I guess I deserved that one for even asking... :-)
