Q: What’s a Handgun Fit For Grizzly Bear Hunting Without A Lot Of Recoil Like The .44 Magnum?
A: Don’t listen to anyone who says a .357 is a good choice for grizzly bear. It is Highly debated whether the .44 mag is enough for Grizzly defense,let alone Grizzly hunting. Without going to a shotgun with slugs or a rifle, you should go bigger than the .44, people love the SW .500. I have a .44 mag and find that I enjoy shooting it more than my 9 mm and .45 ACP. Felt recoil is more about how the gun fits you than the power of the cartridge.

Q: Which is the best caliber for hunting deer, elk and grizzly bear with the same rifle?
I’ve been reading a little and I’ve seen articles about these animals. The suggested calibers ranged between the .243 Win and the .338 Win Mag, but which one is the best for taking all of them down, without ruining the meat of a whitetail and ensuring the death of grizzly with one shot?
If you disagree there is one caliber for taking all of them down for sure without ruinign the deer’s meat, suggest two calibers.
A: If you are new to hunting/shooting sports a .338 Winchester Magnum is going to be a bit much. Deer to grizzly bears is a wide range. Deer are easy to kill, where as grizzly bears are not. As others have suggested, I would look towards a medium bore cartridge. You could get something along the lines of a .338-06 A Square, 35 Whelen, 9.3×62, .338 Winchester Mag, .340 Weatherby, 9.3×64 Brenneke, .375 H&H(or Ruger) or any number of wildcats. These would all prove effective against grizzly bears. I have a few in this range that and have had quite a few others. Currently, I have a 9.3×62 built on a FN Mauser action that is the superb. 286gr Nosler partitions at 2400fps is good medicine for anything in NA. I’ve also got an 8mm-06 Ackley Improved built on a German Mauser and a 8mm-338 Improved on a Whitworth Mauser. I’ve had .358 Norma, .340 WBY, .375 Taylor, .35-348 Improved, among others.

Q: How do you kill a grizzly bear?
I’m not going bear hunting, just curious. What do people use to kill wild grizzly bears?
A: Well all the bear hunters I know here in Alaska use one of these rifles; .300 mag, .338 win mag, 7mm mag, .375 H&H mag although there are some others those are the most often used.
No matter the rifle we all use heavy bullets designed to stay together for deep penetration through bone, heavy muscles and think hide.
I use the .338 Winchester magnum.
There are people who shoot them with bows and black powder rifles although that’s not as common as magnum rifles.
There are rumors that some have killed grizzlies by just showing them a picture of Nancy Pelosi nude.

By the way H gave a real detailed answer that’s on spot. Pretty well covers it I must say.
Q: whey is it that Canada approves grizzly + polar bear hunting, when this bears are on the endanger list -?
makes me sad — – my CANADA -
A: Actually Polar Bears are designated as a vulnerable species (Threatened, not endangered under the ESA)with only 5 of 19 subpopulations in actual, verified, decline. The IUCN lists global warming and not hunting as the primary threat to polar bear populations.
While it may be your Canada it is also the Inuit People’s Canada. The economy of many Native villages rests solely on money brought in by hunting guides.
As for Grizzly Bears, populations have been increasing steadily and it has been recomended that they be removed from ESA altogether.
Q: Is a 12 Ga shot gun with 00 busckshot good to kill a bear, possibly grizzly for protection, not hunting?
A: It would work- at close range buckshot is devastating. That is actually the back up weapon of choice in Africa when lion hunting.
Q: Just curious, what is the smallest caliber you could hunt a grizzly bear with?
And live to tell about it.
A: I have a 220 swift I could very easily hit a dime at 100 yards with. I’d try one shot to the eye ball, but if the bear doesn’t drop, I’m going home.
Q: what is a good rifle for hunting black bear?
what caliber and rifle are best for hunting black bear and grizzly bear?
A: I have taken both species in Canada and British Columbia. I used a 7mm Remington Magnum and a 300 Winchester Magnum and they both took care of business. If I had to recommend anything else, I would suggest something in 30-06 minimum or larger, preferably a magnum.
Q: What bullet weight for 300 wsm elk moose hunting 200gr or 220gr .This is a grizzly bear country .?
A: GlacierWolf is right on about there being sooooo many variables. But one thing is for sure!! The heavy bullet is KING!! I have been in Alaska for 40 years and there are countless numbers of opinions on hunting. All those generations of big and dangerous game hunters are not wrong.
I was guiding a guy from Texas and he had his trusty 300 Weatherby with 180gr. Barnes X. I tried to mention that he needed heavier rounds but he insisted that his world class Weatherby was enough!! He shot a grizzly 5 times. 4 were very accurate kill zone shots, but he charged us and the guy was out of ammo. I fired a single round from a 450 Marlin using a 405 grain solid bullet maxed out @ 2200fps and over 4000 ft lb. The big guy wadded up on his face in two steps. When field dressed the wounds from the 300 were ok but looked shallow. The 450 entered the neck and exited the opposite HIND quarter.
There are lots and lots of great ammo. Get some 200s for your elk or whatever you think is good for you. But please keep the 220s loaded in the rifle until you see something you want to hunt. You will have plenty of time to slip in your favorite round.
My wife carries the 338 and I like my 358 Norma. Perfect for all things in NA and easy to shoot. Accurate past 400yards and does not make a big mess of valuable meat.
Q: Bear Hunting With the Pope?
The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the Rugged Mountains of Alaska for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the campground in the Pope Mobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods. A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a “Save the Whales” hat, and “To Hell with Bush” T-shirt, was screaming while struggling frantically and thrashing around trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot grizzly bear. As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers came racing up. One quickly fired a .44 magnum into the bear’s chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from the bear’s’ grasp. Then using long clubs, the three loggers finished off the bear and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat. As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come over. “I give you my blessing for your brave actions!” he told them. “I heard there was a bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democrat Environmental activists but now I’ve seen with my own eyes that this is not true.” As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers asked his buddies “Who was that guy?”
“It was the Pope,” another replied. “He’s in direct contact with Heaven and has access to all wisdom.”
“Well,” the logger said, “he may have access to all wisdom but he sure doesn’t know anything about grizzly bear hunting! By the way, is the bait holding up, or do we need to go back to Massachusetts and get another one?
A: Long but not too funny. 6/10.
Q: How dangerous is Black Bear hunting? ?
I recently took the NY state hunter education course as a refresher and the instructors described black bear hunting as dangerous, to the extent that I always thought grizzly bear hunting would be. For example they said that other bears can come in after a shot is fired and these bears will potentially stalk hunters that shot at them if they are not killed. Is hunting black bear often a dangerous experience? I know that all bears deserve respect but have any of you encountered dangerous black bears afield? I have little field experience but would like to hunt these animals with the appropriate caliber rifle and cartridge as well as plenty of “range practice” is it a bad choice of game animal to start with?
I appreciate all of the informative responses and personal experiences that you shared. In New York you are not allowed to bait game. Regarding bear meat how does it compare to venison?
A: I am glad I did not take a hunter ed course in NY. It sounds as though you were fed a lot of misinformation.
You have to respect an animal that can turn you into it’s dinner. But, they are not going to stalk you just because they were shot at.
You should use a rifle caliber as large as you can shoot accurately. Shot placement is more important than rifle caliber. Anything .270 and larger, with a well-placed and accurate shot, will kill a black bear. They have been taken with smaller calibers, but I would not recommend it.
If you do shoot a bear, wait a short time before you approach. Watch to see if it is breathing. Approach from behind before checking it physically. This will give you an advantage if it does get back up. If its eyes are closed, it IS NOT dead. Animals do not die with their eyes closed. I have always been of the mindset that another round into the vitals never hurts. Good luck and be safe.
Q: Will grizzly bears actively hunt black bears for food?
It’s common knowledge that grizzlies, being so much larger, can and have killed black bears. But do these scenarios mostly happen when they cross paths by accident, or fight over territory? Being a good hunter, I suspect a grizzly would have plenty of easier choices to hunt, animals that wouldn’t fight back as much, fewer battle scars. Or will grizzlies hunt black bears as they would any other animal?
A: Grizzlies will even attack each other over territory, food, or mating privileges.The smaller less aggressive black bear does not even have a chance against the more larger mean tempered grizzlies.
Q: Is it legal to harpoon a Grizzly Bear?
My uncle, my friend Joe, and me are going to Alaska on a hunting trip and we wanted to know if it was legal to harpoon the grizzly bear in Alaska?
A: I’m not sure, but watch out for those Wolverines !! They once attacked my cousin and I shot it with a 12 guage !! I mean what would you do in a situation like that ?
