A 10MM pistol delayed a wounded Kodiak long enough to prevent injury, and probably killed it.

Joe should invite him to the White House. He could regale him with tales from his grizzly hunting days.

“A 10MM pistol delayed a wounded Kodiak long enough to prevent injury, and probably killed it.”
——————Several hits from rifle!-—————
Tyce hits the bear with a rifle to begin the tracking process.
Guide fires two shots from his rifle as the bear charges them.
Tyce fires three shots at the bear with his 10mm.
One final shot from a rifle as it’s down for the count to put an end to it.

Guide says “stop shooting”. Didn’t want to damage skull.
Me: bang, bang, bang, bang..... Dang. Out of ammo!

A good article. It will go into the database as a combination defense where a handgun was fired in defense against a bear, along with other lethal means, in this case a couple of rifles.

I don’t have a lot of experience running away from Bears, however, it looks big to me, as well.

The database should reflect that the hunter was on defense because he wounded the bear instead of killing it. The bear was on defense.
You have to wonder about intentionally wounding an animal as part of the tracking process. But then that Kodiak may have needed an RPG to have a one shot kill.
To: FreedomNotSafety
A brief account of the incident will be included.
These combination defenses are not included in the handgun statistics, because you cannot separate out the effect of the handgun from the other lethal means.
They are included in the database because a commitment has been made to include all cases which can be documented, where a handgun was fired in defense against a bear or bears.

To: Navy Patriot
The title makes it sound like the bear attacked first. That does not appear to be the case.

A few years ago a FReeper took down a bear with only a knife somewhere in the Midwest.

Yes, most of the written articles and reports have flaws in the writing.
That's why I refer to the Firearms-Hunting-Outdoor Communities for statistical analysis and accuracy.
