I agree with L. Cooper. If you are thinking about going grizzly hunting, and haven't had much experience with hunting (i.e., pressure shots) or with large caliber rifles, you are looking to be grizzly food.

If you have never fired one of the larger caliber rifles and you are going from something like a .22 centerfire to a .375 H&H, you might decide never to fire anything larger than a .22 centerfire after you pull the trigger on the .375.

I would advise you to work your way up to these bigger hunts. Buy an everyday rifle and hunt where you live for a while. Get some experience, and then go on an exotic hunt. It would be foolish for a first time hunter, or novice hunter, to go after cape buffalo, elephant, lion, leopard, or grizzly, because those hunts can easily end in our death, especially the African Safaris. While thrilling at the moment, I think you would think differently as a grizzly is mauling you. This isn't to scare you off from these types of hunts, but just some advice to be cautious.

Kind of like a novice fisherman heading 40 miles out to sea to do some fishing. He is just asking for trouble.
