My Dad hunted with Alf Madsen, back in the day....He used a brand new 300 Weatherby. He got his bear but when he got home we went to the gun shop right away and he traded for a Super Grade Model 70 in .375. His comment? The bear didn't read Weatherby's advertising. After his death, I found the bear hide packed in salt in a wooden barrel. I gave it to a friend who took it to Jonas Brothers, who had to break the barrel apart to get it out, hard as stone...Their worked their magic and turned it into a fine rug....
