Sometimes, you can go to the most crowded hunting area you can find, and sometimes come out looking good, sometimes you can outsmart animals acclimated to human activity, sometimes drop them 800 yards from the tent, give them a ride home with you and go home happy....
But.....ya gotta go try....

You Da Man, Jake. Congratulation on another good one. What are you doing, training them to find you??

Nice bear and job

Awesome. Ya, that's a nice looking grizzly!! What r the hunt/kill particulars ?

Details...
300win mag, 200gr a frames I believe. Shot it on a gut pile at about 80 yards at last light.

Good job, congratulations ! Never know where they may be hanging out.

Great! Another big chubby one. Seems like your bears all have a weight problem

Makes a bigger target!!

Jake.
You should post the ride out pic.
It would make a good ad for Argo

This one??? Lol

Got it high centered in a damp
Spot...breaking a half inch of ice and it slid up under the tires and we slid right off into the ruts....

Yeah, that one

Pretty bear. Congrats

300 Win Mag and 200gr Swift A-Frames. Wow, that's a lot of power right there. Really unnecessary though since a 9mm is supposed to be plenty.

Actually its been claimed by some the 30 cal's are not adequate for bears, rather the turbo mag whiz bang belted, rebated, 400g monolithic, OKH are a bare and bear minimum.

The demonstrated ability of the 30 cal in this post disproves those claims.

Woulda used a 9mm or similar magnum bear stopping auto, but all he had was the 300 overkill. So rather than buy a new gun he just went with the 300 OK.

Woodrow,

If the hole is getting deeper and you got the shovel, just put it down.

Woodrow, all of us are waiting to hear exactly who you are and your experiences with big bears.

He is an escapee from the ARPF a teddy bear. Good job Fourtyonesix jc

416,

Is not an Argo the preferred vehicle in those conditions?

Sure beats back packin something like that fur ball out, don't it?

Congrats, that's a pretty colored fur.
Looks like he fed well too.

Been wondering how this .300Win would do on something like that with 200's. After a 180gr c/L blew up on a cow elk at 200yds I've gone to 200gr Game Kings. So far never had a shot with 'em.

Great pictures,
George

I know Jake and is a number one bear guide.
Will book another hunt with him soon.
Need a griz or brown bear book with him.

Argo is actually not as popular up here as you would think. That trails has only two mud holes. I happened to get high centered in one of them. Go figure.
300 is a great round, one of my favorites. I do however prefer a bullet with some form of partition in it as opposed to just a jacketed bonded bullet.in my experience going from a c/l to a game king is a step sideways and not up.

Nice bear, congratulations, he's a rollie pollie one for sure. Who's the wise guy making smart remarks regarding the 9mm. Seems totally uncalled for to me.

I'm taking a .375 H&H again 300 gr A frame. But Jake wants to try and get one with the 10mm if we have the opportunity

Agree Woodrow uncalled for. I used a 300g A-Frame out of my 375 H&H for my brown bear. Worked fine. Might take the 500 Jeffery next time, just because I have one and love to shoot it. Need to get the kids through college first though.

I think the 9mm comment was intended as a joke as I believe Phil shot one in self defense recently using a 9mm or something similar...

Take it as a joke - this is a great bear!

Thanks for sharing.
