Hi,
For people who have actually hunted or backed up someone hunting grizzlies...what caliber did you use to kill your bear?
Background: Many threads on these board are based upon - can this kill a bear? The reason, I think, is because bears are the most ferocious predators in North America. It's a natural question that the hunter would like to know before he enters bear country.
So, for all of you who are fortunate enough to have done it, or who have hunted with a client, or guide, or even a family member...what is the actual caliber and make that worked? Was it scoped? If so with what were the scopes dimensions. Is there a story behind the hunt? Did it charge? Was it a stalk?
I've read magazine articles and all the past threads...I'd like to hear from real hunters if you don't mind sparing the time.
Thanks,
LW
Just for full disclosure...I have never killed a bear.
