“That first shot hit him in the shoulder and did absolutely nothing,” he said. “

Yeah, birdshot didn't kill anything here either. Of course birdshot can kill. I really don't think there is anyone who argues seriously that birdshot can't kill, but what they can argue seriously is that it is a poor choice for self defense against determined attackers and large predators.



I think that says a lot right there.

It Says it Didn't hit the spine.

Spine shot? No way.

Only way to kill a bear for sure. Shoot his tail off. If you're good enough to take that tail clean off, that bear's as good as dead. Trust me, I know.

It could say a lot of things. Like, he's got piss poor interpersonal skills. He's a republican. And hates liberal animals. I bet that bear was gay, came out of the closet, and was kiled for it. Did he consider the bears feelings? No. He smoked that bears azz stone cold dead instead of considering other options, such as "Hey, I'm sorry I pissed you off, lets sit down and work this out over a cold beer and a bowl. Coors, or Bud Light?" Or, "You're a h0m0? Im a h0m0 too! Let's make a h0m0 family and pretend it's normal".


Bears can't catch and kill what they can't see. I bet that fella knew he had one shot zone on that bear that could stop the attack and the stress of the moment got the best of him and caused him to miss wide. And I'm darn sure he knows beeter than to attempt to shoot through 3+ feet of pissed off bear physiology to hit the magical "spine" shot. I couldnt drop a cooperative "circus Bear", "zoo bear", or "dancing bear" with a low brass 12 spine shot, much less an attack by a "wild bear", thouggh I'm pretty sure sure I'd hit it real good with a solid stream of uncontrolled crap shots, all the while kickiing and screaming hysterically to the sound of my own bones being crunched like pretzels. By a large animal that isn't known for killing it's prey in a painless, humane manner.

Spine shot........

$100 say's you've never been in the srvice. Pogue maybe, def not a leg.

Two years ago when my dad was hunting at our dove lease he had a huge charolais bull try to run him down. Once it was full on charging him he started hauling [censored] toward a thicket of trees and was going to shoot his gun into the ground but a small mesquite tree caught it as he fired and sent the shot straight into the brisket of the bull from a few yards away. Bull never even got up after it hit the ground.

That was an expensive dove hunt.
