[QUOTE="Professor, post: 2154658, member: 108689"] Catahoula is right. I took my son to Idaho for our first western hunt in 2019 and we agonized over gear. The grizzly issue was only an issue because of my ex-wife. My son took his Tikka in .270 and I lugged around a Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan in .416 Ruger. We were just North of Salmon, and grizzlies do pass through on occasion but the likelihood of bumping into one was almost 0%. Still, she is my son's mother, and we were not going unless I was carrying a bonified big bear stopper. There are lots of bears up there North of Salmon. Study the map and pick a few trails to check out. Just go. The bears there I found out are on the smallish side. In Georgia, we have more than a few 400 pounders killed every year. In Idaho, at least in that area, a 200-pound bear would be a monster. We did not kill a bear. We did see some and had the time of our lives in those mountains. [/QUOTE]
