Someone should inform 458win that the 30/06 is not adequate to stop a bear…
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
Between Phil Shoemaker, who’s probably been in on the killing of more grizzly sub-species animals than anyone on the planet, and LB, it’s extremely obvious whose opinion is based on a lot of empirical data, and whose is based on emotion and faulty logic, and it’s not even close.
This.
You've got the wrong idea. Phil is a fount of knowledge no one else has. Why, we were discussing the behavior of Woodleigh softs, and he was able to pop in and tell us he was disappointed using one on the northernmost end of a southbound bear. Now who else is going to have that kind of specific, actionable knowledge? So of course we asked him to provide details - how exactly had the Woodleigh failed? But when specifics were asked, Phil disappeared like an ursine backside through the alders. I guess the ass of america's great bears waits for no man...
