You're probably right. If you compare a bears skull to it's head, it's very deceptive, because there is 3-4" of fat, hide and fur above the skull. Very easy to shoot one in the head and not hit anything vital.

Thanks for the very effective photo lesson.
Can imagine bullet skidding off top of skull and exiting into wild blue yonder.

The grizzly skull is shaped like the front of a tank...unless you hit him in the eye (and even if you do, it looks like damned thick bone behind it) it looks like a round would just glance off of that forehead.
Shudder.
