Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Guide and hunter mauled, guide missing

Grizzly skulls aren't thick, but while the brain is still working, it is deadly. This is a skull from a 7 foot griz I shot when I was a kid. The hole is from a 25-35, which isn't considered much of a hunting cartridge, but it can kill a grizzly.

The revolver I carry when I hunt with a bow is a S&W 686+ which has 7 rounds of 357 magnum. Any round from any cartridge that ends up in the dirt won't deter a bear. It is better to have a gun that you can shoot and shoot well.

I love it when people from Rhode Island, Arkansas and Missouri tell how to live in Grizzly country...
