[QUOTE="mackgee, post: 2974561, member: 41086"] Is it possible? Yes, it’s very possible. You just gotta get the into the regs and so some research…or find someone that knows the areas. As far as grizzlies…Biggest caliber that you can shoot accurately. They killed a 1400 pounder a few years back on Kodiak with a .308…so there is no magic answer or bullet to solve a grizzly problem. I’ve killed some larger bears with my 6.5 PRC. I wasn’t there to hunt bears, I was after other animals, but when an opportunity manifested, I took advantage of it without hesitation. 2 pieces of advice when it comes to the question of killing (or in your case, defending yourself from) Brownies/Grizzlies…1. Shoot the biggest caliber that you shoot well…that you shoot REALLY well. A great shot with a small caliber is far more lethal than missed shots or very marginal shots with a huge safari caliber. 2. Take advice from those that have done it, or even better than that, do it every year. Shooting ungulates yearly isn’t even close to dealing with larger bears. Nothing makes me laugh more than reading posts on here about Brown Bear calibers/bullets where a bunch of people who have never killed a bear state their theories as if they are fact. With all that said, Good Luck! Jeremy [/QUOTE]
