RE: Grizzly Bears
 

Now that would be an, "I Told You So" moment :)

Have any of you seen that Grizzly skull with the arrow head embedded in it? My understanding of the story is that the arrow penetrated the scull, but did not kill that bear.

Just wondered if anyone else had seen it, and had the whole story.

Also, have any of you hunted griz from a tree stand? I'm thinking about putting one up this spring, on a trail leading to a place where a bunch of dairy farmers have been dumping carcasses all winter.

Not real excited about hunting from a tree stand, but might be worth while for a change of pace.

Laugh all you want now, the time for laughing will come to an end shortly when I prove to you just what this thing can do.

Hope you know the difference between luck and consistancy.

On an elk hunt in Wyoming, when we had grizzly bears to worry about, the guides all carried .44 Magnum revolvers.

The outfitter himself carried a 12 gauge loaded with OO Buckshot. Turns out he had killed a charging grizzly with it a few years earlier. It was a medium-sized sow which charged him while he was field-dressing an elk. He hit it in the shoulder the first shot, doing great damage and knocking it down, but it got up and charged again. He shot it in the head at close range, killing it. Ruled justifiable self-defense by the powers that be.

OO buck wouldn't be my choice for bear defense, but this guy had results you just couldn't argue with.

A medium sized sow is a far cry from a large coastal boar.Probably half the size with the skull to match and much easier to kill.

Just as a 9 pellet 2 3/4&quot; 00 buck load out of a standard choke is a far cry from a 3 1/2&quot; 0000 load out of a vang comp or similar choke. the differences in power are astounding.
