| Congrats on a great bear!  We definitely need more details. What did you shoot him with? How far was the shot? How many shots did it take? How far did he run? Thanks for sharing the photo! |

| We're still hunting for another Grizzly for my brother. His buddy got a nice Moose, now Scott wants to get a bear. I'll fill in all the details when I get home. It was quite an adventure. |

| whether it scores high or not-to me you did a fine job in getting and successfully downing a nice speciman!
I,ve mentioned this often enough that there is big bears apart from the coastal breed. Good job! |

| J, Fantastic bear! This my first post coming out of the bush. Still in Anchorage, trying to get home to Salt Lake City. If you recall, we hunted w/ Brian Simpson, north of you. Brian speaks quite well of your brother. My best friend shot a beautiful 8-1/2 footer which missed the book by 1/16". I on the other hand never had an opp to get my bear but I did shoot a 62" moose @ 15!!!!!! yds w/ my Ruger BH 45 LC. Details to come later when I can upload the pics from my cameras SD card. Have to head out to the airport asap. Alan |

| I posted my moose story over in the handgun hunting section. My first 3 days hunting I personally took part in the butchering and movement to camp of 3 moose. Talk about baptisim by fire. |
