I've wondered how many Indian women with 22's have been killed by PO's grizzlies. You hear about stuff like this because it's the exception, not the rule. The other 99% of bear hunters with 22's get hashed but that's expected.


Leave it to the ‘fire to wander off topic and start arguing about 22 LRs.
