That could very well be true.

In Montana we have a couple areas open to elk with a firearm during the bow season. One is a portion of the Bob Marshall. A friend of mine was rifle hunting there for elk two years ago and had a big old boar grizzly pop out of the brush and charge him. The first shot (7mm RM / 175 gr CoreLoc) went in the eye socket and entered the brain. That didn't even phase the bear and it kept coming until a few feet away was stopped with a chest shot. At that it fell momentarily, popped up and ran off to die in the brush. The shot to the eye socket and just circumnavigated the interior of the skull... it didn't exit.
