308 enough for brown/polar bear?

Well I can tell you African PHs and most full time guides get it right a whole lot more often than they get it wrong. There are a lot of dude hunters that owe their lives to the excellent skills of these people. The experience and expertise is so far above the average person on this or any other forum, it is hard to believe. Those of you making sport of the ones unlucky enough to get it wrong are really aholes with a far over developed sense of your own importance and knowledge. Take a step back and give your head a shake, your impotence is glaringly obvious

Once again, were you referring to me. If so I hope you enjoyed your little internet rant. I'll keep this civil. I don't take lightly to name calling. Particularly when you don't know a thing about me. You are free to not read my posts or hit the ignore button at any time.

Didn't mean to go off topic. Just trying to emphasize the lack of reaction time someone has when charged by a man and that the time can be even less when charged by an animal. You don't get much time to react.

EXACTLY !! This ^^^
And,. Hence Why, My personal "Choice" would Be, a QUICK, "Double Tap" from, a Double Rifle at, Under 50 Yards from, a "Charging",.. Anything !
Again, This would Be, MY own,.. Personal Choice, the rest of, you Guys can do whatever,.. YOU,.. "Think" is,. best !

I'm in total agreement…..just couldn't restrain from mentioning the human angle! Generally, humans move much slower than animals…..unless you're attacked by a Sloth! memtb
