Any dangerous game may - by chance and with loads of luck, be taken with any type of weapon or any kind of rifle calibre; Ripp already shared with us some years ago an article about Bella Twin, who in 1953 took a grizzly that is apparently still the world record one with a .22 single head shot!
What stroke me in Frank Glaser’s hunt report was the situation: grizzly charging from a 15 feet distance and 11 shots of .220 Swift required for putting the beast down, which meant that Frank had also over a very short period of intense action to reload his rifle, at least once!
The fact that the bear’s freedom of movement was probably hindered by the trap and log it was dragging in the dense willows possibly changed the deal; if not the hunter may have faced a different fate.
Anyway, thank you for sharing, Ripp; another good story teaching us the recommended do's and don'ts.
