Well an update - We went out yesterday - A friend has a bison and elk farm and has been having some trouble with grizz killing calves....anyway I went out to hook up an electric fence..SAW SOME MASSIVE TRACKS WOW..... :eek:
Video is in the process of uploading. So after we got her running we went out in the back forty...
We come around a corner in the field and in a little clearing we saw a big pile of earth in the middle of the clearing and something moving on it.
It was a huge GRIZZ and he stood up and looked us over so we drove closer. Well he had enough of that and CHARGED (you can have your four wheelers I will stay with the pinz thanks).
A pic of the pinz and the turrett:
here's one more pic of the pinz
Anyway he stood up and bluff charged us and then ran over the embankment. So we continued forward and found where he had killed a horse (she was old I heard later anyway - probably wasn't going to make the summer)...but he was in the process of burying her when we came in - bad thing to do.
So we pulled the pinz around in the brush down wind and were getting set up when he came flying out of the bush again at us and stopped at about 30 yards...I bout caca'd my drawers....he stood up just popping his jaws....and then he ran in the bush again - he was pissed.
All the time he's blowing loud WOW..my heart was in my throat....So I got set up (RIGHT BESIDE THE PINZ) I wasn't taking any chances..if I had to go I was throwing the bow and into the truck...NUTS
So we waited all day for him nothing - you could hear him once and awhile popping and blowing but nothing we could see.
Foxes and yotes were coming to it all day - I took a few practice shots and in the video you will see as he comes up the arrow in the red part of the skull (.40 on the meter) (perfect). I have the distance - now if I can just keep calm without my lungs and heart pounding so I can't think then I should be ok.
Now you have to realize to this point we have been charged TWICE.....yipper with your fourwheeler I think you would have been lucky to get away..I am a bit nervous (do yuh think).
So who do I see off in the distance...hmm Mr. grizz and he's coming in....he bolts into the bush and chases a coyote off and he's a comin'
I will wait for you to watch the video when it downloads..now...sorry don't want to spoil anything yet.
oops it's done - just watch and look for the arrow in the horses head (.40)...

We are going out tomorrow again - give him a days rest...
