Great hunt & write up Snyd, your 44 Hunter did well. That last buck is a very nice buck for Kodiak. Nice shooting on that long shot also. What bullet, don't think you mentioned it, front to back, what ever it was you had it working. Also any experienced hunter likes to work in the open with the big bears around, good job. Dick 45 Colt SBH Bisley Hunter. 355gr LBT WFN I cast. Water dropped wheel weights. LilGun, CCI 350, 1200 fps.

Heck Snyd, with that gun & load I'd stay in the heavy cover & dare the bears to come in & get me!! Just stake Whitworth out in front of you 50 ft. rub butter all over his belly for bait & let the fun begin, just saying.

The video was great and answered the question I had. Was wondering if you had a dedicated hunting piece and a second handier for short range fast shootin' gun on board.

I had that gun in my hand when sneaking around in close quarters. Tall grass, brush, etc. Otherwise it was always on my hip at the ready.

What a great story of a terrific hunt. Congrats! So pausing the end of your video it looks like the Hunter is cross draw in the WyoCombo Holster on your belt? And you had the other gun strong side on the belt? How was that?

And you had the other gun strong side on the belt? How was that? Dean Ya, the 4" 454 Redhawk is in a Simply Rugged Pancake, strongside on my pants belt where it always is when I'm in the woods. The BisHunter in in the WyoCombo which has it's own strap/belt built in. I slap high around my waist and then put on my day pack with it's belt below the WyoCombo belt. The pack belt goes on top of the SR still allowing my to yank out the RH. I do not use the retention strap when it's on my hip. That's why in the video/pics you see the WyoCombo cross draw. I had just dropped my pack. If I'm spending any time hunting without my daypack I'll carry the WyoCombo across my shoulder bandolier style. It puts the gun under my armpit allowing for binos on my chest but doesn't work with a pack. You must be Diamond D in Wasilla. Welcome to the forums! Great place here.
