    I was standing next to Louie Awerbuck as he controlled a mover target while an LEO in class performed a select slug drill and I witnessed a 12g slug clip the brim of the trucker's cap on the mover, resulting in a hole through the crown of the hat and just grazing the target's rubber head.

    After that, I decided that if I shot something and it didn't respond as expected, I should probably shoot it again as I most likely didn't get the hit I thought I did.

    Exactly ..... an aberration doesn't make anything (including bears) bullet-proof unless you don't shoot them well or repeatedly.

    The path of least resistance will seldom get you where you need to be.

    Including this photo of a rifle shot that didn’t penetrate the skull of the sow.



    Supposedly 30-06. I find the fact that it did not penetrate through and through at point blank range unbelievable! Any comments or thoughts?
    My well informed source has now changed the story.. as goes the internet. That was the first shot. The angle is deceiving and I guess it never even hit the skull, or glanced off of it and went under the skin. Kill shot was to the body.

    At this time the link goes to a cursory text report, they ran an interview so maybe it'll be updated.

    Bear confirmed injured, but unable to locate.


    “retreated after the man fired several shots at the bear's head and chest”

    Unknown caliber handgun at this time.
