[QUOTE="Ricky C, post: 2726377, member: 109105"] Hey, I used a 375H&H on my one and only brown bear hunt. We hunted on Kodiak self guided. My gun shot the 235 TSX just a bit better than the 270 TSX. So I had that 235 in the chamber and the 270’s up next. I spotted a bear we finally had a chance at on day five. We were up on a ridge watching a big flat. We watched a big sow catch a Sitka Blacktail deer from the same spot later in hunt. You talk about impressive, holy moly, that deer didn’t have a chance. She just ran it down in about 50 yards. Anyway back to my bear, when we caught up to him he was about 80 yards from us. We were up on the side of the ridge and he had just walked thru a saddle and was walking parallel to the ridge. We both got prone, I put my first shot right behind the front leg. The boar snapped at his side and started spinning like top. We shot until the bear stopped moving. 7 shots total, I shot four times. My buddy was shooting a 375 ruger. I found two of the 270’s in the hide of the bear and there were five shots that connected. One of the 270’s went thru both shoulders and the other went chest to hind quarter. He squared out at 9 foot. Carrying that hide the three miles back to camp almost killed me. My buddy carried the skull. I’ve been back to Kodiak a few more times hunting other critters and I usually take a 300 Wby. Always hunt with a partner and we’re usually close by. On the last trip there we had a 3 or 4 year old get about 30 yards from our tent. We managed to scare it away. Later in the trip on our hike back to base camp we spent the night camped half way there and a bear got half a deer I shot. Take Care [ATTACH type="full"]431993[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
