Deacon Will Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The following was sent to me from a friend..... These two gents were calling elk in the Saddle Hills south of Woking, Alberta when this big guy slipped in on the caller. The Shooter spotted the bear about 8 yards from the caller and dropped him with 5 shots out of his 338 Rem Mag.. Farmers in the area knew about the bear but weren’t able to track after it had killed 3 horses, 5 cows, 13 sheep and a pen full of chickens on several different homesteads in the area. Fish and wildlife had bear traps set up in the area but notice on surveillance video that when ever a he would enter his hump would hit the top of the culvert trap slowing him enough that the trap door would wack him on the head before he was all the way in the trap. Check out the scar tissue on his face….. Bear weighed in just under 1300 pounds and would have stood 11 ¾ feet tall on its hind legs….. http://www.shooting.com/Photos/Shooting.co...pt-20/2010.html I don't know of any .338 Rem. Mag. with 5 round capacity (my M-70 XTR is 3+1), so that 5th shot must have been a finish shot after reloading...That's a very impressive bear, no matter what the circumstances were. Bear I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
