Or you could lung shoot it and watch it wander 25 yards into a swamp/ the bush and have to quarter it up to get it into the truck.
Now on to big Bear-
As Jack O'Connor wrote (p.228-229) in The Rifle Book: "...there is no reason why the man going to hunt Alaskan brown bear should take a .270 if he has a rifle of heavier caliber - nor is there any reason why the man on the spring grizzly hunt should take one..."
luckily: some hunters never read Jack or even internet lol ....

Can't disagree with that. Not too many would pick a .410 for goose hunting and leave the 12 gauge in the safe. Same idea.

I can certainly think of some reasons, I guide the buggers and would rather a client has the .270 he can shoot than the .375 he can't. Of course bigger is better, there's no argument against it, but many shooters can't manage a bigger gun as well.

That's why we hire guys like Ardent. To back us up with the big gun in case the SHTFWell, maybe the Nancies who's upper recoil limit is a 270 shouldn't be hunting grizz.

I've got nothing but well used jokes about containing too much Shrek to fit in life jackets, and I also hear he just bought a .270. Next will be a Mossberg, you just watch.
If a fellow said he wanted to use his .270 I'd say get a good Partition load and let's go! More important is surviving the Mountain House spaghetti, and Hoyt messed with that too!

Go easy on the "Shrek" talk, Donkey...
My CGN world is upside down...... Hoyt bought a 270, Angus is OK with a 270 for grizz and mountain house spaghetti is now considered food...... next thing you know it whynot? will be hunting with a Tavor......
I think this yellow full moon has affected people......
As for me, I will be hunting a monster whitetail that appeared on my cam last week with my girlie 7-08 in the morning...... so I think I am ok?????

Just to make it clear, as Angus has accused me of this in the past (jokingly)....
I have the ability to eat things on the fringe of "food"..... and I understand weight restrictions..... (no offence intended
.....But is a can of Dinty Moore or Clarke's Irish and a heel of bread too much to ask?....lol......
