My wife and I hunted bear for 10 days on Kodiak this spring.
She was able to take this bear on day 8 at 180 yards with a 180 grain out of her 20" barreled .308 win.
9.5' square. I was hoping to get to play back up but no such luck. Through the vitals and down in the brush. Was dead by the time I decided to waltz into the brush were it rolled into 10 feet below it 15 minutes after she shot it.
No drama is a good thing when walking into brush after bears
