[QUOTE="Jordan Smith, post: 661863, member: 44423"] Having been on the "guide" side of the fence, I can tell you that whatever you're holding when you're face to face with a big boar grizz at 10 feet, feels like a pea shooter. The most important thing is that you use a rifle that you're intimately familiar with, can use with precision and accuracy, and that you can get into action quickly with. The guide will most likely have a rifle capable of stopping a big bear, so your focus should be on placing the kill shot precisely where it needs to go. Like many other animals, the physiology of bears is such that the 1st shot is by far the most important in determining the bear's reaction, and how the rest of the situation plays out. Make the first one count with any adequately powerful rifle, and the bear will be down in short order. If he happens to run in the wrong direction before falling dead (that being toward you!), that's when the guide proves that he's worth his salt. ;) [/QUOTE]
