ou might be surprised how many 3/8" holes a bear hide can have in it and still contain a live animal. laugh
No, I would not be surprised.
That was intended as a rather generic 'you', not directed specifically. (Plenty of folks have some unfounded, erroneous ideas, perhaps worse with bears than with many animals - at least in North America. I will venture that the average Alaska moose is more likely to trap and stop bullets than is the average Alaskan bear, yet people don't seem to have a lot of concern with 'how small' they can get by with on moose - and moose are often shot from greater distances and frequently moving.)
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
