As to my brown bear fantasies, I was only there for two in the last month and a whole lot more over the last 40 years. Might have had to kill a couple coming in with bad intent.
My son shot the second brown bear with me last month and he used a 25-06 with 80gr TTSX bullets, so I suspect your guesses were off there, too. I usually use a 375AI with 270gr X bullets, but I have used a number of other cartridges and bullets.
While I have been on lots of hunts, here are links to four of the brown bear hunts I have posted about in the last two years:
Sitka Deer, I remember reading most of those stories. Thanks for linking to them, and congrats to your son for taking that good looking brownie! You say he used an 80 gr TTSX from his .25-06? Wow... I hunt mule deer quite a bit with my .25-06 and have been impressed, but... Wow! Congrats to the young man. He obviously knows how to hunt & shoot.
