Hunting the Brown Bear in Alaska - First-Timer needs help - Page 3

When a 125 gr hollow point was mentioned for Brown Bear I hardly believed my eyes.

Hey, that's a load for groundhogs or prairie dogs and far, far away from being a proper Brown Bear load.

This ammo should work fine in your AK for Alaskan brown bears. After all, there is a picture of a brown bear on the box:

Your joking, right? Hunting brown bear AKA Alaskan grizz, with an AK47 is akin to suicide. An Alaskan brown is truly an animal to respect because of his size, weight, strength, and intelligence. They are called 1oX10ens because when you skin em out the hide is 10 foot wide and 10 foot long. A grizz has dense heavy muscle and bone tissue. they can weight up to and over 1000 lbs. They have claws that are razor sharp and 6 inches long. One swipe will take your head off or separate your torso from your legs. A wounded grizz is your worst nightmare, going into the thick alders or devils club to track down a wounded animal is something that would be the scariest thing that can be undertaken. Grizz are smart and they will set up an ambush and or backtrack you with one thought on their mind and that is to kill the thing that hurt them. You must also know that if a Grizz wants you he is going to get you and there ant hardly anything you can do about it That is unless you have a lifetime of dangerous game hunting under your belt and sometimes even that is not enough. The guide outfitters recommend minimum of 338 magnum and they feel a whole lot better when a client shows up with a 375H&H. You show up with a AK47 and you will be laughed out of the state. No outfitter will take you out no mater how much you pay. Get the proper weapon and learn how to shoot it like you do when you are in a gunfight and then go to Alaska to hunt grizz. When you do throw down on one you must shoot and shoot until the bear goes down and stays down. Most medium caliber rifles (IE 375HL&H) DG rifles are set up to carry 6 rounds. One round in the chamber and 5 in the magazine box. If you do not put a bear down on the first round to stay down and he gets up he will probably charge. Now you have a 1000 pound very ****** off critter as big as a small car charging you that can run over 35 miles per hour over any ground. Now the fun begins. I wish you luck.

Oh come on......the only real danger is to the other bears.
If that armor piercing bullet doesnt stop in the bear somebody in Canada might get hit with it.
Don't you guys know the AK round can do anything, thats what all the movies say, and why would youtube have incorrect info?

If you decide to go on this poorly thought out death wish of an adventure of your's, please come out to the AKPEN and let me know when you are arriving. I could use the cheap entertainment.
