Always great to hear the advice from so many Campfire members who have never even seen a grizzly/brown bear--or perhaps have shot ONE.

The advice of people like 458Win is as good as it gets. He has probably killed more BIG bears than anybody on this forum--quite a few wounded by people who were over-gunned or over-scoped.
