There's a lad I work with that is pretty big into large calibre revolvers and his bucket list trip is a bear hunt because he wants to make a coat.

Luckily for the bears, the only things that live in fear of his hunting prowess are milk jugs.

Watch from 27.30 onwards for the shot,that thing is huge.

Bella Twin, an Indian girl, and her friend Dave Auger were hunting grouse near Lesser Slave Lake in northern Alberta. The only gun they had was Bella’s single-shot bolt-action .22 Rimfire rifle. They were walking a cutline that had been made for oil exploration when they saw a large grizzly following the same survey line toward them. If they ran, the bear would probably notice them and might chase, so they quietly sat down on a brush pile and hoped that the bear would pass by without trouble. But the bear came much too close, and when the big boar was only a few yards away, Bella Twin shot him in the side of the head with a .22 Long cartridge. The bear dropped, kicked and then lay still. Taking no chances, Bella went up close and fired all of the cartridges she had, seven or eight .22 Longs, into the bear’s head. That bear, killed in 1953, was the world-record grizzly for several years and is still high in the records today.

Classic case of skillset Vs gear there Mack.

As much as I love the bow I'd want to put one of them down immediately.

Roy Roth if I’m not mistaken. Died a couple years ago, sheep hunting I think.

Listen to the sound they make. Bet it’d make your hair stand on end in person!

Bella killed that grizz appropriately 30 kl from where I live. 

I was following one of its offsprings tracks  two days ago. 

It threw big stock!

I don’t, however a local guy got A mom and cub on trail cam in the summer. 

I have a picture ( taken 2yrs ago) of grizz tracks quite close to my home. 

I put my track next to it for comparison. 

I take a size 10 and it was dwarfed!

I’ll see if I can put it up.

Just been reading of a guy last week? Who heard a ruckus in his chicken-coop,took his .410 out as he thought raccoon or skunk,grizzly bear emerged from a wrecked chicken shed with a chicken in its jaws,charged him and he shot it dead a few feet from him with a .410.

[mackem 29,578]

This was news recently,the guys wife is remarkably cool,in the full video she is heard saying “it’s charging” in a calm voice,my missus said she would have been yelling “Shoot the fcuking thing” at the top of her lungs.
