[QUOTE="Milepost, post: 1538517, member: 104022"] So if he knew that he would be face to face with a grizzly that day do you think he wouldn't have carried something a little bit bigger? As they say sometimes it's good to lucky. Skill and a cool head prevailed here. There are plenty of stories of people shooting Cape Buffalo or grizzlies with multiple hits and the animal just keeps on coming and these stories come from professional hunters. BTW ...I would be crapping in my pants too! under the same circumstances. Yes, In primitive times they hunted with bows and arrows and spears. They hunted these large animals in groups like wolves in a pack. Some used dogs to keep game at bay. Indians drove Bison off cliffs. There was plenty of smaller game and fish too, big and small to hunt. But did you ever think how many hunters died or were injured in those early hunts... Human population was in the millions back then for a reason.. Sometimes we were the hunter and sometimes the hunted. If I should go hunting dangerous game or live somewhere were we are not on the top of the food chain. I will always take take the option of a bigger gun..I like having options. [/QUOTE]
