Spoke to a close friend of the shooter tonight... he says the bear passed him on the way to the chewee toy. He followed immediately and shot the bear head-on from very, very close with a 30-06. The bullet deflected and failed to enter at all. He reloaded and when the bear turned sideways he put one through the shoulders.
Musta been the front shoulders. That’s not the time to ass shoot a bear.
When is the time to ass shoot a bear?
Well, when one has an uber magnum, making a cross-canyon shot, a friend to read sign, and two miles of cable on a winch.
Thot everybody knew that!
