The 375 Weatherby did just fine on nice 8 1/2 foot brown bear, of course at 13 yards for the first and killing shot (a frontal quartering shot that broke the left front shoulder, destroyed both lungs and ended up in the far hide in front of the left rear leg), I didn't quite need the extra range the Weatherby brings. The bear somersaulted twice, roared and went into the willows. We waited 40 minutes then crawled through the willows following the blood trail. A tense 10 minutes and 30 yards later we found my bear dead in a little black bog in the willows. During those 10 minutes, I would've kinda liked my 500 Jeffery with open sights only in my hands ...

A great hunt, great location (Upper Togiak Lake), great outfitter (John Peterson of Bristol Bay Outfitters) and great guide (Jason Fawcett).
