Thanks everybody,Im still here at 74 now though still get out and still seeing lots of grizzlies no more trouble though. once is enough of that. Steve!
As long as you took all that delicious meat and left the hide, claws, gall bladder to waste etc... why would i have a problem?

Unless I missed it, what did they do with it?
Glad you are a good man under pressure. Even if at the last second the bear changed its mind and broke of the charge, the next time it might not. And that person may be unprepared or unarmed. Good job.
No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.
Good to see you are still active here at 74 Webley. 10 years sure goes fast! I did like that the COs mentioned your 444 Marlin and that it would have ended differently with a lesser caliber. I mostly hunt with my .30-30 but have never seen a grizzly where I typically hunt.
If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?

Glad you and your dog are safe. I would've done/performed in the same way (I hope!).

A great outcome with no room for second guessing. The experience and instincts kicked in just the way you hope they will and the 444 did its job back on that day…..well done!!
What prompted a resurrection of a ten year old thread? A want once again to castigate ol'Webly or just public interest?
