I *have* one, but art really has a thing for them.

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! I say ass shoot any elk calf killer, like I may on fawn killing coyotes running away.

Worth having a powerful firearm, bear spray and a good buddy who's reliable when in bear country.
Guy I think I’d take a good friend who’s a great shot under pressure over bear spray any old day of the week and twice on Sunday. Guy was damn lucky the buddy chambered another round and kept on shooting.

That's what deflected usually means....
although I am suspicious that it did not deflect - just grazed due to placement.
Wasn't there, don't know. They are calling it "bounced off" but my money is on "glanced off." But he may have been using Accubombs? Maybe a cop who loaded rubber bullets by mistake?

Or the Seward cop that shot a bystander with a slug. It ricocheted off a big rock on the far side of the bear. Centerpunched the sternum, but failed to penetrate.

9 feet works! Tho you might want trust me on that distance..... It was............interesting. I've been closer by about 2 feet, but there was a patio sliding glass door between us. Not the same! I may have had a deflection on my caribou kill earlier. I remember him being broadside at the trigger squeeze. Entry was behind the shoulder, exit---um- well back... taking out lung , liver, and paunch (ick!). 4 inch by 1/2 inch bone peeled off rear of near shoulder blade. I could mis-rember the sight picture, or he could have turned just as I shot. I feel better with the "deflection" theory......
