Bearly Legal

Bearly Legal is a gameplay achievement for Red Dead Redemption.

The official description of the achievement is: "Kill and skin 18 grizzly bears."

This achievement is worth 5 gamerscore on the Xbox 360 and is a bronze trophy on the Playstation 3.

These Grizzly Bears will be encountered during Marston's travels throughout the wilderness and are part of the hunting activity.

Tips and Tricks

 * They are usually found around Tall Trees.
 * Use a sawed off shotgun or a pump action shotgun
 * Use Bait as this quickly draws the attention of Grizzly Bears then once slain it will automatically attract more bears that hunt in groups seeking to avenge their fallen brethren.
 * Whistle for your horse consecutively until you attract their attention or fire one of your useless guns which will scare away other animals apart from grizzly bears
 * Find an open area, or maybe ontop of a small hill and then whip out your buffalo rifle or your shotgun, and carefully seek out the bear. Sometimes you may attract a boar which is easily mistaken for a grizzly from close range and from far away as they both have a bulky figure and charge when alarmed. Once you are sure that it is a bear approach it carfully making sure another doesn't attack and kill it with a shotgun either in the neck or the forehead.
 * Skinning a Grizzly will attract more bears so watch your back as another bear may be right behind you.
 * Bears seem to like being in clearings in tall trees.

Trivia

 * The achievement/trophy - and its name - is a pun, referring to how 18 is the legal age for people to be considered adults in the country of United States, meaning they are "barely legal."
 * in the mission "For Purely Scientific Purposes" Nastas says how illegal hunting is killing all the bears. That could be also a joke to this achievement/trophy (It's actually a reference to Japanese 'scientific' whaling)
