Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Would you rather kill a wolf......or Grizzly

Can you skin grizz pilgrim?

I went to Alaska bow hunting grizz. Didn’t get a shot at one but did arrow a wolf. Think that’s pretty rare with a bow.
I’d rather arrow a grizzly.

I need to hunt with Phil before he retires.

Yes

KIlled em both..........

A long time practice.....still works in places

I would love to hunt and kill a grizzly.....I’d like to help decimate the entire wolf population! memtb

Kill some of them big dogs for us !

GRIZZ scare the heck out of me! But, I rather shoot a wolf, big or little.

I've killed 2 wolves, an Interior Grizz and a Kodiak Brown Bear.
So yeah.

I can think of two wolves I'd like to kill. Blitzer and the gov of Pennsylvania.

I shoot wolves on sight if the season is open. They are tough critters, only recovered 2/4. One I understand, misjudged the range (thought it was 650 and it was 710) and hit it low. We tracked it and never found it. The other one I center punched with a 243 to the chest and it went down. Tried getting the one with it and the one I drilled got up and ran off. Never found it, was raining hard and the blood trail disappeared quick. One reason I don't use the 80ttsx anymore.

Please feel free to act that out on our wonderful Governor!!!

I saw a video a few years ago of a man in Alaska calling in wolves like calling in coyotes and shooting them with a .17 Remington. I'd like to try that for myself.

For anybody that'd pass on the grizzly, do you live in habitat where they thrive and are protected?

Me I'd smoke a grizzly 10 times outta 10 if given the option.

But they're so cute!

Yeah, with a 22-250 and Hornady interlocks or NPs.

Yeah bears are so hard to kill.........

That's the only griz I would shoot by choice. 52 years in Griz/Brown habitat (got 'em in my yard time to time) and I haven't killed one - nor want to except as above.

I want a dark auburn blackie for the wall too. I have shot a few black ones for meat tho.

Done shot a wolf - would again, but I won't walk up on another one until it's completely dead. Watching "the green fire dying in its eyes" as Aldo put it, bothered the hell out of me.

It is sporty, up to a point. After much experience, I no longer use the .17 Rem - that 25 gr. too often fragments on or near the surface, even when you would swear that the placement was perfect. Shooting them dead is good stuff. Tracking and dispensing of wounded/hobbling ones is not a favorite thing. The .17 is nice and flat for a spell, but 22/250 way superior for me.
