[QUOTE="Tom Wright, post: 2264064, member: 108611"] My suggestion would NOT be in US, but in Canada—generally they’re much bigger. I would recommend British Columbia or Alberta. Years ago I went hunting them with a muzzle loader in northern Alberta where the year before there were no roads. Roads had been cut in by the oil shale industry so most animals had never seen human beings. These usually are bait hunts, but not easy ones. I was lucky and took a record book one weighing over 600# and measuring over 8.5 ft square. It required a grizzly form to mount. It was one of the best/most exciting hunts I’ve taken. But be careful of younger males—they can be aggressive and may climb up the tree to see what you are or to try to get you. I had two I almost had to shoot point blank as they tried to get into the tree stand with me. After the second time I carried rocks in my back pack to discourage them . Attached is my bear. [/QUOTE]
