Vital size on a Grizzly
What is the average vital size of an Alaskan mountain Grizzly? 12"? Or bigger? For targeting purposes

Thanks

I would want to be able to put my bullet in a 6" diameter circle offhand at 100 yards and with a rest at 200 yards every time. Anyone with some practice should be able to do that.


Regards,

Chuck

You've got about a five gallon bucket size vital area, maybe a little smaller. But not much.

I tack paper plates up from 40 - 75 yds and run a few magazine fulls out there a couple times before bear season,,it helps.
