I remember that guy - he was the one explaining what bullets he thought were effective for shooting client's bears in the ass. You should get him in here - here's just the clown this thread needs laugh



LOL, comedy gold right there, you just can't make this stuff up.


Hmm 458 carried a 30-06 for years as his back up rifle loaded with 200 gr partitions and then went to 220 partitions in the 30-06 these penetrate really well. I have no idea how many wounded g or brn bears choose to charge vs runaway. But if 458 shot any in the butt it was because that is the shot he had on a client wounded bear leaving the scene as fast as possible
With their reputation as the best penetrators out there I am sure he ended a lot of bad situations waiting to happen. You don't ever read bear hunt stories that aren't 1shot dead right there or it was charging dramas. The fact he now uses a 458 suggests to me he has client's who don't shoot as well as they could. ..mb
