[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 286859, member: 4191"] Makes me smile. I can imagine some of the clients pose as great a risk to health and safety as the brown/grizzly bears at the moment of battle. I will admit, the first big Kodiak brown bear I saw (his front track measured 8 3/4 - 9 inches wide) looked like a barn door and was surprisingly unsettling on my nerves. I had slowly and cautiously tracked the bear around in and out of some alder patches in the prior nights 1/2" fresh snow fall when he caught my scent and awoke from a deep sleep about 70 yards away. Never got a shot at the bear. At 70 yards he looked absolutely huge even behind some cover of alders. I was alone and fully aware of that fact. Just me and the bruin. I'd hunted all my life and had seen and shot any number of black bears large and small, but still wasn't prepared for the immense size of that brown bear. Now that I've shot a few and been around a number of them, I don't experience that same shock effect. The shear size alone of a big boar brown bear is a good enough reason for the uninitiated to be accompanied by a guide with prior experiences in the company of these monsters. [/QUOTE]
