There's a rumor of a large 9.5 footer taken off the Emerald Rose, sounds like it may have gotten a bit dicey, somthing like 7 Barnes .375's and .338's. Perhaps it may have went better with Nosler's.   --- Mel

Or maybe plain janes- sounds like the premiums aren't exactly the "magic bullet" many think.... in this case at least. Sounds like the adrenaline was up, and the bear might have gotten a bit excited too....  Chit happens.

Sounds like the adrenaline was up, and the bear might have gotten a bit excited too.... Chit happens. Even if you're sending Tomahawk missiles, you still gotta aim 'em. I found that I get the best results when I have a specific destination in mind, when pulling the trigger, versus addressing my bullets "To Whom it May Concern."
Thoroughly enjoying Alaska since 2001.

Just got home and need to get a few things done before taking the time to post the story and some photos... Exact same bay and area Rick Bin and I killed a brown bear in about 7 years ago. From our glassing spot the two hillsides where each bear died are visible at the same time. Both bears did a lot of circus style tumbling, but one shook the ground when he rolled! Got lots of good pictures... Jeff was shooting a Kimber 8400 in 338WM because a certain SS A-Bort 375H&H failed on about day 8. He brought the back-up because I insisted he needed to... just in case. He was using 225gr TSX and one was recovered. I was shooting a 700 375AI with a 1-4x24FFP Vortex scope. The illuminated reticle is extremely functional and the partial circular lit ring really drags your eye to center in use, especially in low light and tight cover... as I found out...

Meant to mention I was shooting 270grX bullets and none were recovered. Two went full-length through the bear.

You teasing SOB! Headed north for the mountains (ours are wee, but still magical) in 6 hours, so I'll now have to deal with daydreams of that kind of hunt, and bears you boys got into. Rrrrr! But then, I think I'll manage to keep busy torturing fish for a few days... Congrats. Can't wait to read about it. Details, man, details. Please.
