[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 1059592, member: 21869"] Timber 338,This is how it plays out around here.Guys have said self defense and bear shot broadside.When guy shots them in head and frontal at close range then it is justafiable.I spend lot time out here had many encounters.Ive stalked blackys and had them woof and pop teeth many times as they are concerned there is a grizz in area. I had one standing on snow slide bouncing up and down swatting snow.Ive spooked and treed many black bears,try it on purpose in archery.Ive seen 13 grizz in one day, been bluff charged a few times and also surprise sow grizz close 30 yrd and had her stand up while 2 cubs run off,had black bear sow act more agressive.There are far more black bear maulings because of numbers of bears. I shot a 7 ' black bear and would not want any part off it.Ive had close friends throw thier bow like a hatchet at charging grizz. I pack a 44 four inch tie down on a low ride ring with 300 gr.some friends that hunt also have spray.We have called in many bearand cats while archery,I also call for bears.I solo hunt hike in at 4 am had big grizz, by sign in trail move off and let me go by, kinda gets you jumpy,had them warn me many times with woof,cats no they just appear.I just hope my luck holds,when I see or smell them I am at full alert.Run right into them on horse back also,there just tried remain in saddle [/QUOTE]
