If it was planned that way, it was just plain stupid. (Sorry, have to call a spade a spade)

AND they have a wonderful sense of the way home, esp trail horses.

While on duty chasing armed bad guys in the dark. One chase was after spotting 3 perps running into a building at sunset. In the dark and doing a clear building operation with some fellow officers and that amounted to a mile of connected buildings. Not fun with a sidearm and flashlight in the dark.
Another time, was archery bear hunting in MN. I saw an old trouble big cinnamon boar chase people twice so I put my bow away and assembled my old 12GA double and went in the brush after him. Dang near ran right into him and he charged me. My cut-load hit his neck and did the job. We ate him and I have him now as an open mouth mount rug. This was near Cotton. MN, at the old worked out iron strip mine.

I could have missed it, but I`ve not seen an actual planned hunt for a dangerous animal such as an Alaskan brown bear, just proponents of the .223/77grain TMK saying that it`s doable. Mostly it`s stated that indigenous Alaskan people regularly kill bears with a .223.
They're better and braver hunters than I am, for sure.
It took 5 rounds of 325 grain soft points to stop my big brown bear.
Didn't know that at the time. I was probably 17

Not just Alaska. Some of the Inuits hunt the great bears (the white ones) in Greenland with .22s and .223s since that is all they have and can afford/get ammo for. Once heard a story from a Force Recon Marine that did survival training there and their unit had an Inuit guide that carried a .22. Guide said "the .22 rifle had been in his family since the late 1800s". Marine LT asked "what it was used for?", Inuit said "anything including the Great Bears". Marine asked "how well it worked on the Polars?". Inuit said "if you shoot them up the nose, thru an eye or ear it works well. Marine asked "and if you miss?" Inuit with all honesty said "then the rifle goes to the next person in the family and this one has been handed along several times". That would have to be a scary hunt/situation.
