Proves once again that firearm that works is better then no firearm at all.
I’ve started watching the show called The Hunt, which is about the bear hunters/guides up on Kodiak Island. These bears are amazing creatures and tremendously powerful. You hear that but seeing what they are capable of is entirely different.
I often don my 1943 bone stock Remington Rand 1911A1 with a 8 round mag, when going into the black bear inhabited woods at my deer camp. Though when hunting big game I prefer my old model Ruger Bisley Vaquero in .45 Colt that I hand load up to magnum velocities using 250 or 300 grain bullets. If I lived in big bear Alaska I would keep this at the ready and save the 1911 for 2 legged varmints
That man should invest in a 12 gauge shotgun and some good breneke slugs. He’s very lucky that bear “went crazy” out side of his house rather than coming on in and mauling him before it died.
Dude, you need some range time ... assuming your back deck is not 50 yards long ...
My retirement home is up in the woods of Northern Michigan (Lower Peninsula)in a very small village and until I was 17 and joined the Air Force I had only seen two bear in the entire Lower Peninsula. I spent most of my childhood playing in the woods around our house and that tiny village. They now wander through my back yard so whenever I go into the woods, even for a walk, I carry my S&W Model 29, 44 Magnum.
There was also another incident in which an attacking brown bear was killed in Alaska with .45 acp.
It took 18 rounds before the bear dropped. I would probably go with a .454 Casull.
7 shots in a row with a Hi-Point, I am impressed.
He didn’t do well on accuracy, but at least the one shot that hit the bear was fatal.
Oh, the guys on the WeLikeShooting podcast are going to go nuts on their show next week.
They’re constantly ragging on HiPoint firearms.
I misread the title. I thought they were talking about an AK 45 military grade assault weapon with 50 round banana clips and night vision scope.
Not an Alaska bear shooting.
Must be suffering from too much liberal anti gun indoctrination!
