	At the Talkeetna lodge, AK is a mounted Grizzly which was shot by a ten year old girl (Fern Spaulding-Rivers) in 1996 with a 375 H & H. It notes, she wore a McCoy Shoulder armor to protect her from the recoil. It took her two shots. The first was was at around 30 yards. luckily the bear didn't charge because her her second shot was at over a hundred yards.

	When we were at the lodge a few years ago, they would put signs on all the exterior doors warning guests of bear sighting on the grounds.

	Mike Otterberg took this 400+ pound black bear with a flintlock a couple years ago. One shot was all it took.

	Of course Mike probably needed bear grease for his bullet lube. I see there are trees so he never shot it off his porch. Were there bear steaks at his next Schuetzen BBQ? And of course the bow record is: Score: 27 1/16? (B&C and P&Y) and 27 8/16" (SCI) Midway through his hunt near Unalakeet, Alaska, Rodney Debias and his guide suddenly encountered this massive grizzly bear at just 17 yards. Somehow, he managed to keep his cool during that hair-raising encounter and send an arrow into the bear's vitals. It dropped after running about 50 yards. Because Debias used lighted nocks on his arrow, the Pope & Young Club did not officially certify this as the world-record grizzly bear until after they changed their rules to allow lighted nocks a few years ago. However, this old bruin is now the biggest grizzly bear ever killed by a bow hunter. He was also the biggest grizzly bear ever killed for a few years until Shane Swiderski and Bob Steed killed their grizzly bears in 2013.

	Phil Shoemaker, Alaskan Guide, killed a grizzly with a 9mm handgun. But Phil is an experienced guide who was in a tight corner. Having homestead land in the Interior, I prefer lever action rifles like the 1886 and Model 71 in 348 or 450 Alaskan. Remember, a grizzly who is defending a kill or has been in a fight recently with another bear-is a different animal. No bolt gun can keep up with a slick lever action-for repeat shots. That is why the old 86s and 1895 Marlins are used there. I carry a 450 Alaskan in grizzly country where fresh bear sign or broken salmon are along streams. Hagel-"Choose the caliber that will work when everything goes wrong". For everything going haywire-Read the account of Old Mose in Colorado or Ben Lilly in the early 1900s NM/AZ. Still need more? Read about NWMP Constable Edgar Millen and Albert Johnson in the Yukon-Rat River-1932-33.

	Thanks for another good read. It seems to me, that the only person who knows the truth for sure is Bella bella. For her to do what it is claimed she did, she must have had only the one choice. Regardless, she will forever hold her own in the record books.

	I haven't been on the forum for awhile. Moving from Alaska to Arizona 10 miles north of Mexico. Since I spent 30 some years in Brown Bear country I can say for certain that when you're slipping through the woods looking for a moose and a Brown Bear stands up and looks at you, whatever gun you have in your hand feels pretty darn small!
