Duck hunting in bear country.

[Ray]

I can't think of many grizz stories where the bruin was taken with a 220. Most are using nothing short of a Howitzer.

You should read "No Room for Bears"
http://www.amazon.com/No-Room-Bears-Frank-Dufresne/dp/B003X6AYUY

And "Alaska's Wolf Man"
http://www.amazon.com/Alaskas-Wolf-Man-Wilderness-Adventures/dp/1575100479

Lots of big bears killed with a 30-06 and 220 grain or smaller bullets without much over thinking.

Yep, I've read "Alaska's Wolf Man" already Frank Glaser if I remember correctly. Great read for anybody interested. I'll have to check out the other book you mentioned.


Now for the embarrassing part...for some reason I had in my mind that Mike shot that bruin with a 220 swift. Don't ask me how that seed got planted...I couldn't tell ya. Hence My comment about shooting it with a 220. I now see it was 220 grain, not caliber. DUH! Hooked on Phonics only worked partially for me I guess.

I did the same thing when I first read it, did a double take and realized my mistake!

No decoys???

He could whittle up some beehive decoys over the winter.

That's funny!

Mike, well done. Will just have to wait for the next bison picture to complete the trifecta.

Nov 1! I'm sure I just jinxed myself, but I've been watching two different groups on some handy hills west of town. If I can borrow a 6x6 blood may be spilled.
