[QUOTE="jimbo300, post: 173816, member: 9060"] Buffalobob, The first grizzly was a young female with a beautiful coat. The arctic grizzly's usually have some of the best colored coats of all the bear species. This particular bear didn't seem too dangerous, when we yelled and hit her with rocks she left in a hurry. However, the large boar grizzly I mentioned would snap his teeth when hit with rocks. I remember wondering just how effective my 180 BT's were going to be on a charging bear. :eek: My guide was packing a better set-up when it came to bears. This guy had a sixth-sense when it came to bears. He had guided bear hunts most of his life both big coastal bears and interior grizzly's. I had tried to obtain a grizzly tag, but my outfitter was only alloted something like 4 tags/year and all were already issued to other hunters. Believe me if I had a tag I would have tried to keep him in sight for about 8 hrs then smoke him.:D [/QUOTE]
