They are enormous ! One of the toughest things is actually walking up on a dead one, because you never really know until you're almost touching them that there really gone.That bear is down right scarry , If it stood up it would be almost 2 x bigger than me or you
That would need a cannon to take down , even then i would still run
But what i have seen on tv those big fuckers can run faster than a human
Oh, and I typically hunt with a 30-06 Ackley Improved, unless I'm targeting (or guiding) for bears - then the H&H comes out of the safe.
As for speed, it is said that they can outrun a quarter horse out of the gate.
I don't know about that, but I have seen them really move !
