Holy S...!!!!:eek: That's one BIG BEAR. I don't know if I would have had the balls to go into the alders after him, even having a good gut feeling that the shot was good.
years ago I shot a bear in bear meadows of pennsylvania. might be as big as the leg of the bear that is shown here and with a relatively puny rifle. Shows talent and understanding the rifle. I am truly impressed. If it were me, I would have used at least a 340 weatherby but I am a bit biased these days.
I think it's a good thing he didn't get a good look at it before the shot, It might have reminded him of a movie quote. " I think we're gunna need a bigger boat":eek:
