[QUOTE="Iowaboy, post: 287998, member: 16343"] This is an honest no underlying motive here question. Let me first say that I have never killed or have any knowlege about what it takes to kill a grizzly. But what is the average wieght of an average grizzly taken? Yeah we have all seen those huge beasts that people have killed. But when I look around at Cabelas and BassPro for the most part the grizzy bear they have stuffed are not your 700lb beasts. More like 400lb beasts. Not that I would want to tangle with a 400lb bear in any case. And what is the average weight of a mature bull elk? Some where in the nieghbor hood of 600lbs? So how much more would it really take to kill a similar size bear compared to similar size elk? I know there is the danger factor about looking for a wounded bear where as a wounded elk wouldn't be as dangerous. Although I wouldn't want either chaising after me. Just a thought. Oh yeah none of this has to do with what I think is a ethical kill just what would it really take. [/QUOTE]
