[QUOTE="Mmac52280, post: 2653792, member: 120230"] I have held my tongue as I searched for an old article I read at least 40 years ago. The writer had been part of a group of 4 men who ran a guide service on Kodiak island. In his article, he first covered his last guided hunt, finishing off a Kodiak, wounded by the client. The bear ran to thick cover, and he used his own scent to get the bear to move, albeit at him, and killed it with a head shot with his rifle. As I recall, the rifle was a 30 caliber magnum, shorter barrel, iron sights, for just that kind of work. The bear charged him, running through saplings like grass, and slid to a stop 7 yards from where he was standing. The other reason he was quitting? He was the sole survivor of his guide business, all the others had been killed by bears. Never found the original article, but I never forgot it either. [/QUOTE]
