[QUOTE="NorsemanAlaska, post: 1315672, member: 101498"] Been an interesting thread to read....I'd like to interject a point of view here if everyone doesn't mind. Here in Alaska there are some Native Alaska folks that might say the .22 is the best round, even for bear. Particularly out in Bristol Bay on the Naknek and Kvichak Rivers. Years ago when I used to commercial salmon fish during the summer in Bristol Bay I'd visit with elders and they'd tell stories. Basically they'd sit on a bluff over looking the river. When they spotted a bear swimming across they'd get in their skiff, motor up beside the bear and put a .22 round in its ear. They claimed to have done the same thing with caribou and moose. Ammo was expensive and hard to get out to the villages even back then so they adapted and made it work. Guess that might be called "short range shooting".... [/QUOTE]
