[QUOTE="CTK, post: 1906577, member: 103842"] Reminds me of a funny story my friend told me about an exchange with his Kodiak bear guide. Friend asked the guide if his 300 RUM was enough gun. The guide said yes and recommended some bonded Sierra bullet. He said that a 375 H&H would be another option. Said it was likely that he would have to shoot the bear twice. The 375 would knock the bear down thus facilitating a likely easy second shot. With the 300 said they would have to find the bear in the alders and put another one in him there. Believe that this is what my friend was told. Not sure of how often this scenario plays out. I do know that my friend bought a 375 for the hunt after the conversation. Looking for a wounded brown bear in the alders is the stuff of nightmares! I have never hunted a bear but have been in plenty of alder thickets with them. [/QUOTE]
