Nice picture!
More details like how far, what rifle, how old is your boy?

Believe it or not it was a Kimber montana, chambered in .260 remington (sheep rifle) shot at 101 yards, i'm sold on shot placement now!!! the stood on his two feet and looked right at us, I ranged it for him and he put the cross hairs right on his chest!

Oh come on, you know after reading the experts on this forum that you can't kill grizz with anything less than a stopping rifle
Tell your boy great shooting and congratulations!

Congrats to BOTH of you!

congrats to both time to be proud!!!!

Well Done! I'm sure you are very proud of your son.

Thanks for the pictures and congrats to your son, looks like a nice bear.

What a great gift for your son!!
That's awesome!!!

Don

Atta Boy!!!

Good hunting,
Graham

Outstanding! That's a handsome young man you've got there! You're not just a wee bit proud of that fellow are you? Ha ha...I know you are and well you should be.

I am very proud of your son, he is sure to be a great hunter as he grows.

If your in town next week, lets get together for lunch.

Very happy for the both of you!

What bullet and weight?

Handloads? Factory ammo?

Wow! That is outstanding!! You must be very proud!!

Doc, to answer your question, they were factory ammo, Corbons, loaded with 120 grain Barnes TSX's. We mainly came for sheep but we always take our griz tags, never know when something nice might show up...to tell you the truth the kid rather shoot a griz than sheep, I've yet to figure that one out...must be a kid thing.

I'm glad to see you had a favorable outcome with the TSX bullet. Many who have used them in the smaller calibers worry that the hollow point is so small that it would not open up, rather, it would close up when pushing through the soft tissues.

Did the bear run far? Drop right there?

I shot my first squirrel when I was about his age.

Congratulations on the bear and your Dall, but mostly congratulations for raising a fine young man who enjoys sharing the outdoors with his dad. Life is good for both of you.

The bear did not run dropped right there..i was surprized, but it was a well placed shot

Congrats on the hunt,
Im a firm believer in shot placement also,
What happens when a BB dont present its chest like a gogo stage girl, but instead 600+lbs comes charging down at you all at rapid pace?
Was there someone else waiting on the sideline with a bigger canon ready to take better control of a situation?

COOL! What a wonderful experience. That is a beautiful bear. I can imagine your son's first day back at school. He will have to be just a litte proud of himself.

Good job!

Trax, his back-up was me, with my .270 WSM, I know I should've took the .44 S&W, but too much weight, we did have a can of bear spray handy. I was glad the bear presented a vital shot for us, standing on two feet facing us, but those kind of shots aren't always guarranteed. during the stalk to bear came up on us quick, those bears move and cover ground fairly quick. And he did not know we were there, until I whisltled and made a noise, thats when he stood up on twos to look right at me @ 101yds.

Nice bear, you guys really shoot some nice animals!

Surely you didn't raise this kid to believe he can kill big game with a .260 or 6.5x55. Never attempt to make up for power with marksmanship! It just isn't the American way.---Just kidding.
