And when you have 20,000 people just in state putting in for it plus out of state, it's a highly prized tag.

2 out 20,000+ why even try?

Nano kidding. There are guys who put in for 50 years and never get a sheep tag here.

Damn that's not something I'd want to stumble upon in the woods.

Look at the picture again, he ain't in the woods.

Cute bear Tim

I'm trying to figure out if it's a brown bear or a grizzly.
Don't hunt bears but have been up close and personal with some grizzly bears in Alaska.
I'm guessing it's a brown bear. Their coats are more fluffy in the pics I've been googling.

My guess would be grizzly just based on the size. Have no real basis for, or experience sizing bears though.

I googled pics of both and the same picture of a large block-head bear growling came up.
At that point I said fuck it but did look at some other pics.
If I were wanting a bear blanket, I think I'd probably want a brown bear.
Not so sure...internet, bonjour and all that.
I figured RMFC would know all about this shit.

Not much into bears. Only bears here are black and grizs. I don't even like bears or skinning them things to begin with let alone gutting. I am not even exaggerating when I say there is about an inch of just fat under the hide. They are just slimy creatures.

It's scary to say the least.

Aren't brown bears and grizzlies the same thing?

Woody wrote:Aren't brown bears and grizzlies the same thing?

As far as I know, I don't think so.

Now das a bear!

Woody wrote:Aren't brown bears and grizzlies the same thing?

I believe so. I think it has something to do with latitude. Bears found below a certain latitude are considered Brown and above Grizzly.

Brown and grizzly are the same bears. Brown bears have access to salmon and grizzly are more inland, other than that, same bear.

Woody wrote:Aren't brown bears and grizzlies the same thing?

From what I heard. Coastal browns tend to be much larger then their inland cousin's the grizzly. Mainly because the coast bears have a better diet and access to more protein like salmon in the rivers and stuff on the beach like clams.

He's a different kinda dude. But I think the best bow hunter on t.v if its in range even at a dead run he'd kill it. And in range I mean inside 110 yards.lol

What's nuts is when he goes and shoots doves with his bow. Other shows that have "professional archers" shoot all day for one or two hits the crazy son of a bitch has like a 50 percent hit ratio goin. Im not much into big game hunting shows but his is cool.

Healthy looking bear Tim. Did he kill it with a bowie knife or chicken out and use a .300 magnum?

waterfowlman wrote:Healthy looking bear Tim. Did he kill it with a bowie knife or chicken out and use a .300 magnum?

I think you mean .375 H+H Mag.

There have been more Grizzly/Brown bears killed with .30-06 and .300 Winchester or Weatherby magnum loads than .375 H&H......guaranteed!

I don't doubt that statement one bit. The .375 is far superior though to a .300 Win mag.
