Agreed that the .458 win mag could handle the bear.

Sir Charles,
Such details are not to be expected in a Lame Stream Media article.
Maybe more details will show up elsewhere, but it it was not a proud moment for the Russian Darwin Award winner.

I always think of the "I could've had a V-8" vegetable juice ads when I see this detail from a David Wright painting ...

... and I imagine James Watts saying "I should've had a 4-5-8"
as he is searching the stream for the holstered .45 Long Colt that the bear clawed off his waist
as it barreled over him with a single .375 H&H bullet hole through it.
Good thing the bear kept going and died on the other side of the creek. Black Rapids Creek.
