[QUOTE="Paparock, post: 1266010, member: 106235"] I would have liked to had the privilege to hunt the largest land carnivore on the North American Continent once in my life but that will never happen for me. One would have been my limit even if I had unlimited funds as I would not have the heart to take more than one. I love and respect all bears but these giants are special and can only take so much pressure so I would feel unworthy to take more than one. Perhaps it is the influence of my "brother" (half American Indian best friend I grew up with) but I grew up learning about "the old ways". I may be "white" but there are many American Indians (Cherokee) in my family tree and I respect things most people today care little about and know little of. Elsewhere I have said while I lived and hunted in Wyoming I carried and hunted in Grizzly country with a .375 H&H out of respect for the animals I hunted and the Grizzly that lived where I hunted. There had been a number of problem bears in the area where I hunted that had to be put down. Anyone that does not respect what even a Black Bear can do to a man has never seen the result and the power of a Grizzly much less the power of a Brown Bear is to be [U]Respected[/U; those who do not do so at their own peril and should watch some of the videos of the survivors of Brown Bear maulings. Sometimes these bears take a lot of killing as in repeated hits from .375 H&H and .338 Win Mags in the vitals before succumbing to their fatal wounds. I would recommend reading "Pinnell and Talifson : Last of the Great Brown Bear Men" for a real historical perspective.[/U] [/QUOTE]
