Just watched a grizzley hunt on TV-of course the danger was played up etc. Well they shot one at 620 yards on a mountainside. While that is incredible marksmanship it's reducing a great game animal to a target and is definately not dangerous. I think the ultralong range stuff is fine for varmints but it doesn't do much for me on big game. While I've never shot a grizzley I know how much fun it is to get up close with big black bear-shooting one at 3/8 of a mile doesn't trip my trigger.
 
in our area we have the occasional mountain lion sighting, and if we had bear I would lump them in the same catagory.... dead at any distance, and the further the better!!

Well I live in the Heart of Mn Bear country and have maybe seen 10 in my lifetime.They are not an animal your going to run across very often and when you do their gone in a flash.The fear factor bred into some people is unreal.Bears eat berrie's and grass very little meat.I've hunted them over bait and they are some picky son of a gun's.Their alot harder on oat's and corn than cattle that's for sure.Wolves are pretty reclusive also.Most people fear what they know very little about.I am much more worried about the damage caused by realtor's and lawyers than bears and wolves.Realtor's and lawyers are the true parisite's of the world..
 
Mrs greg I'll have to take you out some time to sit over one-it's the most entertaining thing you can do. The little girls love getting that close to bear-it's about the only way to remove the big boar bear. They are the biggest predators on cubs there are-if they kill them the old sows are open for business again. We don't just hunt that way but we do at times-spot and stalk or spot and call is the most fun though. we had about a dozen different bear that we know of on our place last year.

Oh I would imagine its quite exciting sitting over the bear,getting that close

Hey Corey,how about the Phaneuf deal....you gotta love that :)
 
I loved the 5-0 spanking that the Oilers handed the Flames alot better lol. Ty had a good morning-shot a big fox and a coyote and just mised a big black wolf in his snare.
 
We raised about a dozen in the yard this year so I guess one when their prime isn't the end of the world. I'm actually surprised the yotes hadn't eaten this guy by now. i think Ty got just under 420 for his last year which is walking around money when your sixteen lol.

Yea that's not going to wipe them out by any means alright. Good for him on keeping up with his hunting and trapping with all the other distractions a teenager runs into.
