[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1456905, member: 99039"] I am not knocking anyone down on caliber selection for Brown, Grizzly or Black bears, I have never hunted them, but I would believe if you take out both lungs they could not run to far with no oxygen. I have an old High School friend who is a big time bowhunter, he lives in Alaska now and has completed a Super Slam and is currently working on his second one all with a bow and no backup on the dangerous game. He has arrowed a 1300lb Brown Bear from 30 yards, he was 10yards from it the evening before, but could not find his pins on the bear and backed out and waited until the following morning. His Bear did not travel far after he shot. My point being, it is more of a well placed shot than the size of caliber you are shooting. I have never hunted bear so I am speaking with no experience, but I would think even a 28 Nosler with a well place shot would be able to take down a big Brown. [/QUOTE]
