Grizzly Shot 9 Times With Rifle And Still Ambushes Hunters

On February 3rd, 1982, a hunting expedition unfolded with James Webb, accompanied by his brother Mark, their friend Mike Sanders, Terry Hu, and five others from the nearby farming town of Fort Benton. Every year, these men, all experienced farmers, embarked on hunting trips; this year was no exception.
During this period, many men had recently returned from World War II, while others were engaged in the Korean War. Consequently, people possessed a higher firearm aptitude and familiarity than today. Hunting was a popular activity, although the equipment used at the time was more rudimentary than what we have today. Hunting rifles lacked the advanced scopes commonly seen now, with hunters relying on open or iron sights that allowed for quick shots similar to those taken with a shotgun. This skill was crucial for engaging with any potentially dangerous predator up close.
While James, Mark, and Mike pursued their hunt, the remaining five group members ventured to a different location. It was common for hunters to divide their party if they had enough members, enabling them to cover more ground and gather information about game signs and locations for planning future hunts.

  1. Why would anyone have any need whatsoever to go hunting in grizzly territory? Isn't the world large enough where hunters can do their trip without endangering an animal that is just in its own territory not bothering anyone? Stay out of their territory!!!

  2. In regards to the first story, the quality of bullets from the 1950's were far less than even a decade later. I believe the Nosler Partion was available and would be a good choice for elk or bears. However, bonded bullets were not around until the mid 1960's. Also, there is a huge difference between shooting a bear that is relaxed and going after a wounded bear hopped up on adrenaline. And, of course, shot placement is key. If you are not hitting vital organs, breaking big bones and/ or the CNS, bears can really absorb lead.

  3. These people that tell these "scary bear stories" can't seem to get the stories with the pictures. In the 50's they were not warring camo clothing ." he lifted his 30-06 and fired" showing a shotgun double barrel shotgun. in another sequence "He lifter his trusty 30-30 again showing a shotgun. These misspoken things ruin the story for me and I'd bet many others . Get it right or don't do it at all. You remind me of the news media.
