    Re: Griz hunting tips needed: other griz noobs feel free to ask questions on this thr

    so I was lucky this spring, and won a grizzly tag. I would hunt a grizz with 180gr bullets from your 06. I myself will be using my 375H&H with 300 gr accubonds. I plan on a shoulder shot if it is presented to me, and I do not plan on any shots over 150yrds. If I can't get closer, the bear will live. I switched to premium bullets quite a while ago, and have shot all kinds of critters with TSX,TTSX, Nosler Partitions, Accubonds, A Frames, Swift Sciroccos, as well as Cup core bullets! I like the premium stuff the best. I wouldn't worry too much about blood shot meat, a grizz will provide you with more meat than you will care to haul out, along with the head and hide, off the avalanche chute! Hunting a top predator means taking quality high percentage shots, not much room for error, so don't get caught up in the excitement and make a marginal shot! Moosin

    I am also interested in hide preparation. I would rather leave the head and paws on to avoid screwing up my rug, does this lessen my window of time to get it to the taxi? In guessing so since salt can't be applied to the face. How long before the hide starts to turn? 12 hours, 24, 48? My biggest concern at this point (besides a mauling) is taking a book bear and wrecking the hide somehow and wasting the animal.

    I was also lucky enough to draw my first grizz tag. 7-02 is some tough country but looking forward to the adventure. working on a new load, 180gr Barnes TTSX .308 is this going to be enough? I have used similar for all my black bear and mulley's

    You'll have to sight in again, but in my experience, these are great, durable bullets.

    Almost 300 ft/lbs more energy than a standard 180 grain CoreLokt.

    Thanks, I'll probably take Srupp's advice, and go with TSX.....

    It will work fine, try to get in to 100 yards and make your first shot count. If I had to use a 308 Win for grizzly I would probably look at the Nosler 180gr Partition or Accubond. Bit more splash on a lung shot than a lower velocity Barnes, and they both will penetrate deep

    I'm interested to hear what dates you guys find to be the best for spring grizz hunting. I know it varies in each region but I'm mostly interested in the caribou. What seems to be the best 2 week time frame and why?

    Hunt the rut lots of action, the odd one won't be rubbed. Don't over look lung shots, it's not going too die some where you can't retrieve it like a goat.. anchoring isn't as important as shot placement. Nothing beats a well placed shot, I prefer quartering away, more vitals and with a rifle you can also poke the shoulder. Biggest thing is too give it time after the shot. It will still be there if you have too leave it until morning. Good luck
