[QUOTE="Rosebud, post: 3032174, member: 118066"] I told this story in another thread about my brother who was a fishing guide in Alaska. He and a friend awoke with a brown bear at fart smelling range. It was taking bites out of his buddies sleeping bag, with his buddy inside it. I'll cut the story short here. Mike, my brother shot the bear from eight feet away with a twelve gauge shotgun using slugs. Center punch into the chest. It ran off with him shooting at it. Had to shot it again as it charged them from twenty feet away. He admitted that he was lucky and hit it between the eyes. KO, end of match. Now if a 12 gauge slug wasn't impressive enough for the brown bear, plus the buckshot pellets. How will your great a wonderful hand gun skills going to work out? It ran about150 yards into a willow patch and waited for them. Hears the center claw from a front paw. I'll add that its nothing like what you have trained for. You're doing your normal stuff, fishing, hunting, just walking along. Boom, crap, here comes a bear! You must drop what you are doing after the shock of seeing the bear coming at you like a freight train.you have just used up half of the very few seconds of this CF letting your brain decide what you need to do. God help you. [/QUOTE]
