I have interviewed Kim Woodman. A followup article with details on the shooting, bear, ammunition, and foot wound, will be out in the next few days.

This should put to rest once and for all the arguments ad nauseum on the gun boards about what to carry for bear protection.

A 10mm to the foot? That’s gotta be an ugly wound.

But wait a minute. Why didn’t he call 911 and patiently waited for help while getting eaten alive?

I wonder what bullet he was using? I’m thinking for this use case, you would NOT want an expanding hollowpoint.
Any thoughts?

Hiker Stops Charging Brown Bear... The jokes write themselves...
-How much did he charge the bear?
-He never should have charged the bear in the first place...
-Once the bear is done being charged, how long does it run?

All you need to defeat a bear is a pair of running shoes and a slow buddy!

AK: Hiker Stops Charging Brown Bear at 6 Feet with 10mm PistolIf I was charging a brown bear I'd stop a lot further away than 6 feet no matter what hand-cannon I had.

Since it’s all about shot placement, a .22 should be fine.

A bear attack has the following characteristics according to my bear hunting friends:
It is very quick and usually starts from about 10 to 20 feet from the quarry.
The bear will be on all fours during the attack.
He will move very quickly and will be on you suddenly.
His head will move very rapidly, bobbing up and down as his he runs.
Placement in this scenario is a big problem and you probably won't have the opportunity to pick your shot.
Use a caliber that is big enough to disrupt the bears nervous system at whatever point is available.
Some carry Ruger .45-70 revolvers.
Carry what they carry.
It isn't like the movies where the bear stands up and roars a challenge and only attacks then.
The bear will stalk you for dinner and they are very good at it.
5 bear hunters were killed during the several weeks my friend was in the bush looking for a trophy. He got his.
