Thanks!Thanks for the honest and engaging write up and great pictures mate! And congratulations on your great bull!!
What bullet were you using in your 33?
Any other details on “dikembe”?
Cheers
Thanks rauschThanks Farleg. Unfortunately no vital pics. I was in a hurry to keep my “vitals” intact! I know where 2 shots hit and that there maybe a bullet in on shoulder. I’ll skin the quarters tomorrow and see what there is to see. The majority of the time I use the gutless method to quarter them so I don’t even see the insides. I also didn’t think getting more blood on me in griz country was a good idea!
I forgot to add into the story that the boss ran into said grizzly bear at 50 yards the next morning in the timber. He’s a young maybe 3 year old boar. Super blond like a bull elk and his face and neck were covered in fresh blood. Fortunately it wasn’t from my elk and we got him packed out just fine!
I’ll find it tomorrow and post it. I know that my old load is posted in the spreadsheet using N560. Now I shoot n565 and have to use a drop tube but I get more speed and less pressure. I also switched to Peterson brass.Rausch what load with the 235 HH?
Rausch - Thanks for sharing so much of your hunt. It was awesome! One thing Farleg might not realize is that to a grizzly bear a rifle shot is the dinner bell. On my Montana hunt 14 years ago, I shot an elk and 20 minutes later I saw a grizzly down wind standing on his hind legs winding me. Not a pleasant feeling!Gday rausch

Given the legal ramifications nothing good comes from such encounters.Rausch - Thanks for sharing so much of your hunt. It was awesome!
