I have a 22 Creedmoor Ruger American Gen 2 with a 20" barrel, 1x8 twist. I'm shooting ELDM 80 gr bullets at 3320fps. It shoots VERY well, prairie dog out to 400 yards +. But it has the factory muzzle brake. There is little recoil, so the brake is not really needed. All the people I shoot with...
I've seen many grizzly, none looked like a black bear. Try opening the close Pic with lens and see what mister Google calls it. The head is no way dished and no pronounce hump.
I'd shoot it in a heartbeat. It's a brown-phase black bear. Even at that range, you would see 4" claws. When you see a grizzly, there is no doubt. Like if you think it's a wolf but not sure, it's not.
I did comment in favor, but I have no Idea how they work. Do they give us any more access to use the land? Is it a sign-in and go kind of area? Is there a lot of hoops to jump through to use it? Or is it just protecting the area so our grandkids can stand outside a fence and watch the wildlife...
Absolutely cool!!!
We were out last year and had a dead turkey fall from the sky. An eagle was trying to fly away with it and dropped it in front of us...
I hunt with a guy who has two cochlear implants. He says they take a lot of getting used to.
BUT when we are just shooting targets or prairie dogs, he just unplugs them and doesn't need ear muffs.
