RE: 338 Mag not enough for Brown Bears
My uncle, who lived in the bush of Alaska from 1973-2000, only hunted with a .243. He told me in that time he killed probably 20 or more grizzlies with his trusty .243, not to mention all the moose and other animals he got. It's all about bullet placement. Size doesn't matter if you hit where you are supposed to. |

RE: 338 Mag not enough for Brown Bears
I couldn't imagine hunting a brown bear with anything smaller than a .300 Win Mag. It sounds cool to say you could kill one with a .22, but wait until the first time you see one up close and personal, you change your mind real quick. Brown bears are HUGE. You cannot even imagine what it is like to bump one up close until you have done it.

RE: 338 Mag not enough for Brown Bears
Yeah,
Dr. Biber was a Korean War surgeon, who came to Trinidad because of the depressed area financially. Anyway, one day some guy/lady/whatever asked him if he could do the surgery - he said sure, I can give it a try, and the rest is history!! He's actually a pretty neat guy, real down to earth and country, likes to cowboy and ranch. You would never know the man was a mulitmillionaire and the top surgeon for this stuff in the world. |
