But that was back in the day when hunters understood the importance of shot placement, and took the time to learn to do it !
Would you let a hunter take a 300 yard poke at a bear? That magazine clipping says that is how long the shot was. I suppose they are big targets, but if I showed up for a BB hunt and my guide said nothing past 150 yards I'd say no problem.
Bob Chatfield-Taylor did a LOT of hunting.....far more than our average CF member,and on a few continents. He was an experienced guy.
Ralph Young was a legend in SE Alaska. Doubt he would have allowed a great deal of risk.
RCT shot constantly. I doubt there was any "poking" involved"...
Pretty sure he killed grizzly with the 284 Winchester and 270 Winchester as well
His early stuff on the 30-338 was always interesting reading...as was about anything he wrote. Not your average boob.
