[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 1236456, member: 2567"] Several years ago while elk hunting in Grizzly country of Wyoming, my hunting partner, an active Wyoming State Trooper at the time and I ventured into a drainage that was full of Grizzly sign. We were very careful to say the least. We got into some very good elk sign,but time ran out and we had to head home. This was on a Saturday. The following Saturday I went back to the same area that we had heard elk bugling. I found a dark carcass half covered in the 10 inches of snow on the ground. I approached very carefully thinking the carcass was a moose. Upon reaching the carcass, I couldn't tell what the animal was. I moved the carcass and found small ears, very dark hair, no skull and no paws, it was a dead grizzly bear! I called my Trooper buddy and had him contact Wyoming Game and Fish. A few hours later a game warden came to my camp and told me that the bear was killed after charging a hunter and ruled a good shoot. Last year while elk hunting in the same area, I was telling this story around a campfire with a couple of fellow hunters, one of the hunters piped up and said, "That was me that shot that bear, " she was walking through a meadow and then without warning charged, the hunter ducked behind a tree and fired one shot from a 300 winchester magnum striking and instantly killing the bear. The bear was less than 5 feet away when the fatal shot was fired. [/QUOTE]
