And thus began a great expedition in skinning and quartering. :d You have the appropriate transportation close at hand we used tarps dragged on snow last bison. Don't recommend it.

You're good on the derail that's a medium bore doing medium bore things, in a medium bore thread. Right on target.

Best part is that I rode back to where I parked the truck, unhooked the trailer and came back and backed the pickup to the carcass.

Still took 10.5 hours to get him in man-portable pieces and into the truck.

Thank, on the way home, came across the game wardens. Turns out the local yokel that drove past to gather firewood (and drove out before we were finished) reported that we had shot a bison thinking it was a moose and were busily cutting it up. I knew the CO and he laughed his ass off about the whole thing because there are so few tags that he knew I had one. Saw the tattletale around town a lot after that incident. I never mentioned it but he sure looked sheepish!

Tell this Grizz from two weeks ago you need a .40 plus to shock... client used a single round from his 7 Mag, didn't leave the radius of his own shadow. If you want shock, you want speed. If you want excessive penetration, you want weight and bore can help in that. Hey BUM started it.

Like I said before, the Old Man used his 7 Mag to chase a particular grizzly whose shirt he desired, around and around that Granisle country. Then again, it was the very mighty 7 Wby, not the anemic Remington version. The double-radius shoulder makes them deadlier.
 
Thought about going after Bison up around Zama, they issue (or used to issue) tags along with a TB testing kit. But couldn't fathom how I could possibly utilize that much meat. Or how to deal with the threat of the rest of the herd? :eek:

I've hunted them in Zama when temporarily an Albertan, you have to draw the tag, and it's no gimme on that draw. There is an exclusion area that's somewhat of an ungaurded secret much further east and with difficult access, but no tags. Generally a good few of the big bulls will be solitary, or if it's the herd bull the herd runs off fifty yards and watches, then loses interest.

That's the way to do it. The sheepishness wouldn't at all be affected by the fact you're six and a half feet tall, you and Hoytcanon need to get out to the north coast at the same time and we can place bets while you guys battle with moose sheds.

I know the double radius shoulder adds 200% to the value of the brass, likely for reasons of 200% greater effectiveness on game no doubt.

The COs here dropped their M-70 .338 in favour of a stainless Browning 7MM magnum for problem bears; I think they're nuts myself, but clearly a 7mm with good bullets is up to the challenge.

i was surprised that in the Kluane National Park they are still using the 7mm rem mag with 175 grains remington bullet ones, in Banff they were using 375hh or told so by the guy that was training them... in Alberta they had the 7mm mag in rem 700 ... it may work ...
 
I recall the Waterton Park warden who killed the Grizzly that mauled 2 hikers back in 1983 used a .340 Wby. The Grizzly charged and he said he had about 3 seconds from the time it emerged from the timber before it was only a few meters from him to stop the charge which his first shot did luckily. Then it took several more shots to finally dispatch it.

The eventual tragic fate of one of the victims -
