[QUOTE="Triple BB, post: 1486761, member: 947"] We were charged one time in the Thorofare by a big boar. My guide fired 7 or 8 shots. The bear turned at 15 feet and ran over to a tree and started raking it and growling like nothing I’ve ever heard. Then he walked into the timber howling and growling as he left the area. I asked my guide if he thought he hit it. He said you saw what I saw. This same guide several years earlier killed four grizzlies at the same time. It was a sow and three, two year old cubs. The sow charged when he was gutting an elk. He dropped her and the first cub charged so he killed it. He was changing his clip and the third cub charged. The cub tackled him and started chewing his thigh. He shot it in the head while he was on the ground. The last cub stood there and he dumped it before it charged. This was all with a 9mm Glock. I was one drainage over when it happened. He said his hunter froze, had dropped his rifle and was quivering when he got over to him. He rode into Cody for treatment, was interrogated by the Feds, and the entire thing was treated like murder investigation. If not for his hunter’s corroboration and having his leg chewed up, he would’ve went to jail. I got rid of my revolver and now carry a 10mm Glock in the back country. Six shots won’t get it if there’s more than one bear. [/QUOTE]
