Ty,

What cartridge are planning on using?

Which bear are you planning on hunting?

Will you be by yourself or with another hunter?

Shoot straight, shoot often, but by all means, use enough gun!

I will be using a 14" 444 Marlin.
I would like to hunt browns and grizzly
A guide would be nice,but will probably depend on funds.
Thanks

I wouldn't try it without someone around who has a serious stopping rifle.

The .444 with a super-premium bullet would be adequate on an unaware bear, but things can get ugly fast.

While you're trying to reload, the bear can cover a LOT of ground.
