I've been over there before. Lotta info about traditional shooting, sometimes too much. Guys over there take things WAY over the top, and most are very opinionated with little to no room for others opinions.

Ok this is a post from that Dangerous Game forum....I draw the line here between hardcore and just plain nutz!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Just curious if this has happened to any of you?? First off, I'm hunting in Suriname, South America...in the Amazon rainforests. I was hunting along the edge of a creek about a week ago, in a triple canopy area, which means very little light during the day. Hunting for deer/wild hogs...I heard somethig to my right and turned, and startled myself and a young (100lbs)jaguar...I think both our hearts skipped a beat. A short while later, I turned around, as I "kinda felt" something was there and that same young jaguar was about 20 meters behind me!! Was he stalking me or just a curious jaguar? I'll never know, but I'm lieng if I say it didn't make me real nervous."

I remember watching an old video of Tim Wells putting a stalk on a Grizzly within a few yards from what I can recall.

He ended up shooting it right between the eyes when it stood up. Pretty cool hunting clip.

So funny how everyone has a different experience on different sites. Been over there for a long time and yes many are traditional types (me included) but they'er good guys I promise.......

I'd do it...but who has the $10,000 outfitter fee Can't hunt Grizzlies or Brown bears without an outfitter. No hunting in the lower48 and that leaves Canada and Alaska. They both require Guides..that sux IMO

I really like Tradgang and if you are in the market for traditional equipment there is no better classified resource.

Did you guys see Fred Eichler's hunt where he stalks and shoots a huge Grizzly with his recurvenot once.......but TWICE. As it is standing looking at him. [:-]
I've actually talked to Fred a couple times about coming out to Colorado to hunt Mt. Lions with him with my recurve.
That's my ultimate hunt.
