Great bear and him laying down beside it really gives a great reference to the size of those animals.

That’s awesome ! I just gotta ask. How the hell do u miss a target that size

Love this thread Thanks for sharing

Crazy how variable bear behavior is. Sometimes 2 day old human scent will send them running. Other times you can't get rid of them.

Well my guy missed the one on a rushed shot as the bear turned. Then got a second chance the next night at this dark dark bear. We blood trailed it for 400 yards until it got off into the swamps.never recovered. Just goes to show. A 375 still needs to be put in the right spot.


Both guys killed great black bears as well.

How are you liking no barrel? Current running a bait up here off the Kenai peninsula, seems like it would work well, did you see an increase in consumption? Thanks!

Consumption increased dramatically. I also got more bears feeding together. So it increased my activity too.

Do you require your clients to use a minimum caliber? Curious if you’ve seen smaller calibers (.223, .243 or .270) used on big brown bears in real life. Not trying to hijack this thread, just curious.

Seen and used the 270
On browns. 308’s as well. All work great. I would use a 243 on one as well. The 223 I probably wouldn’t.
I Prefer guys show up with at least a .30
Cal. That way I don’t end up hearing about their creedmore all week.
