I've shot several of them out of self defense. I saw one in the bottom of a big canyon 200 yards away from me on the deer hunt. He saw me, turned and started running straight up the side of the canyon towards me. He was snarling and not happy. I hadn't done a thing to him.
At 20 yards, I chambered a round in the .30-06. I knew he was serious about getting his teeth into me. I shot him at 5 yards. The bullet entered the eye and exited out the bung hole. I had his pretty yellow hide tanned. I have had to do this a couple of times. They just don't back down to anything. They have a really testy attitude for sure, but are extremely pretty. Flinch
