That was close. I was wondering what caliber rifle the guide was carrying? The bear dropped like a log. Must be a 338 Win Mag.

Yep, I saw that last season on Cabelas Outfitter Journal. Very intense. I saved the recording and watched it a number of times.

I think he jumped the gun a little in shooting though (no pun intended). If It was me I would have first pushed one of the other guys down and ran like hell, that way the bear would have been busy with the guy on the ground and I would have been safe. If that didn't work, only then would I have fired on the sow....BTW, I am going bear hunting on saturday, any one want to come along?

Remind me to either not go hunting with you or to tie your shoelaces together once we get on a stand.

Ahh I think ill stick with coyotes.
You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.
