grizzly

[larryddd]

hi guys which gun would give me the best chance of getting a gold or diamond grizzly, or is it all about shot placement. thanks

get within 150meters head on when they stand up, aim between the shoulders slightly to left as that where heart is use 7mm/300 or 600gram arrow/bolt

Just ensure you use class 7-9 ammo. Grizzlies are pretty easy to get heart shots on since the (x) whistle works really well on them; If you get to 150-100m, and whistle, they will almost always stand on their rear legs and looks around. This makes a rather large target and you can get nice heart shots on them.

Animals spawn randomly on the map. When an animal spawns, the game randomly assigns it a body weight. Grizzlies in particular have a weight range of 165-680kg. To become a gold or diamond animal, the animal's weight must be in the upper area of that range. If the animal weighs less, then it can't become a gold or diamond, no matter how you shoot it.

The weapon only matters insofar as you need to pass the harvest check, otherwise your score will be penalized and you won't be able to score a diamond. Bears are class 7 animals. Popular weapons that include class 7 are the Eckers .30-06, The Canning .300, and the M1 Iwaniec. Each has its own advantages and drawbacks.

There are (allegedly) methods to "groom" diamond animals by selectively shooting animals that are at the high end of their weight class, which apparently gives them a chance to spawn one weight class higher. Many hunters follow that strategy, I have no personal experience with it though.

I recommend the .300. Plenty of knockdown power and a rapid follow-up shot if necessary. Just don't shoot them in the head. I believe that's the trophy organ.

If you want to play it safe, go for a lung. It's true that the heart is easy to hit if they stand up, but there is a tiny chance of you missing it and the shot going between the lungs and also missing the spinal chord.

I have shot most of my bears with the 12g cacciatore. Folds them up side on with the lung shots and great for follow up shots if they should charge. At 50 t0 70 yrds, more fun than a polecat down your trousers.

He's looking for Gold / Diamond trophy not death by thousand cuts

@ Pinger
LOL.
Back off sunshine. 12 gauge would be way safer than your reccomended 600g arrow.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

.300 works great for all bears.

[larryddd]

thanks guys good advice there

[larryddd]

the guns I have are the M1 and drilling rifle

Shot placement.

Any gun in the correct class range will work fine.

Personally prefer shotgun or xbow.

Remember some people use large calibers to ensure a kill because their shot placement is

Any gun in the animals class range will work on a clean shot.

[larryddd]

my luck is changing just got a gold albino grizzly

[Pinger]

lucky yes but you used up all you RNG for the RNG god that bear. An Albino anything is very rare, so now you have to pray at the rng Church on LL, it also happens it also doubles for a Halloween event location, so while praying be sure to take lots of sweets to leave behind for the greedy devs, they are aged 7 too 13

600 grain arrows go right through anything, including buffalo, without any problem.
