Shooting Bear FAILURE- Prompts Attack, Hunter Injured

[Sinclair]

shot placement shot placement shot placement. and use enough gun. bears are not something to trifle with. they CAN at times be hazardous to your health. not always, but the possibility exists. you all can do what you wish, of course, but critters with tooth and claw that have historical records of maiming or killing humans need some healthy respect. marginal caliber will get the job done when everything goes right. and truthfully often it does. when it doesn't, one might be wishing for about 3x or 4x the horsepower to finish the dance in your favor.

Once, a long time ago, a sports writer of some renown, who's name I cannot remember, sorry, said that a wise hunter chose his rifle and its caliber based on not what would be the ideal hunting conditions, but upon what the worst case scenario might be. Its a little too late in the game to wish that you had more gun or more bullet when that once in a lifetime trophy is bearing down on you like a run-away freight train. Even a big Buck whitetail can kill you! Just my two cents worth after hunting for 64 years. I love the Grendel, I wouldn't trade my CZ for anything , but it is NOT a monster masher!
