Shotguns are normally all they can, or used to be able to own/possess. This info is from 10 years ago, from an Exchange student we took hunting with us, up here.
He was allowed up to 6 shotguns, but could only afford one, and shotguns were all they were allowed to own, no rifles. The shotgun is used for birds, of course, deer and bear hunting. Generally bear hunting (in Yakutsk) is usually done when they are hibernating.

They could purchase inaccurate slugs, or buckshot, which is about useless on grizzlies.

The bush there were hunting in, was no different than most of the bush here. As there, it can be tighter than what we just saw, less time for reaction.

The last head shot appeared to be a slug.

The gun the guy was holding appeared to be a semi-auto 12 bore.

You just have to love the GREAT vast knowledge of the goverments around the world don't you..only they are able to tell you what you do and don't need for a firearm...restricted to shotguns only..WTH?? bunch of BS..


Agree, that certainly looked like a 12 gauge ..seemed to do the job...

Always have respect for bears but my feelings are, if they are in an area where they are hunted they will generally give humans a wide berth 99% of the time..its the 1% that you have to worry about..

When you get to areas like Montana and the lower 48 were Griz have not been hunted in a very long time, I am more concerned as they have lost most of their fear of man...an area south of town about an hour is notorious for griz hammering bow hunters every year...cant thing of two many years where there are at least a couple of attacks..

Correct; here in Montana especialy the Mission Mountains years of non hunting the Grizzly has led to a different attitude of the Bears toward humans .More and more cattle raiding Grizzlies are encountered along with an ever growing number of human confrontations
