The odds are 100% that I'll be there in April 2012 to hunt one of those bears. I'm going with Outdoor Adventures.

I have been told that the bears are absolutely not even slightly sorta' afraid of anything, especially little bitty pink animals on two legs. I also was told that a .338 or .375 is sufficient. I'm taking my .416!

Sorry about those people, but they should have been aware of the bear presence just by being in Petropovlovsk. The locals are very aware of bear encroachment.

A bear taken in 2010 squared better than 9 feet. What would you take into the forest? Mama bear and three cubs killed for being carnivores ...
