338 didn't cut it?

Good that he had a .338 Remington Magnum and not something smaller like an '06 or .270. Knowing that large bears might be in the area of their hunt may have led them to carry a larger caliber.

Oh, I don’t know, mm… with the right load, an ‘06 should do the trick…

That is a monster....good looking out, many times the shooter can't see the caller. Good thing that was not the case here!

Note to self: When calling wildlife, hungry bambi eaters will try something new.

The size of the paws in relation to the bear's size and weight seem off to me--I wonder if the bear had been sick for awhile since he'd been attacking livestock like that...Those paws should go on a much heavier bear.

Still it will make a magnificent rug.

Mature grizzly boars average about 700-800 pounds. 1300 pounds is big. Look at the picture of its body- No ribs or spine sticking out. It looks pretty healthy.

Greatly ups my respect for the old mountain men with their single shot slow loading front stuffers.
