iirc their heart only beats like 12 times a minute, you can shoot them right in the pump and not even slow them down...You tell ‘em how they shoulda done it....:)
I never thought about it but it makes sense. If you’re shooting at a bear to end an attack pray that you hit bone and not a vital organ. Weird. The energy from the bullet hitting bone will knock the bear on its ass whereas a fatal organ shot just pisses it off until it finally dies with you half way down its throat.
Wish it’d been a Mama Grizzly and Ma’am Boxer

Was he deer hunting or bear hunting? Was the deer they shot bear bait? The .375 H&H is a way oversized for deer.
Interesting juxtaposition: The story with a picture of Sarah’s “Mama Grizzly” immediately below.
About 2.5times the energy of a .06.
Only a 12 guage, 3.5in mag with slugs would be a better choice.
“Bears sometimes decide they want the deer a hunter has killed and take it away.
Fifty-three-year-old Ned Rasmussen of Anchorage is believed to have died in a confrontation with a bear that wanted a deer he’d shot in 1999 on one of the smaller of about a dozen islands in the archipelago”
The bear can have it. Heck, I’ll shoot a dozen more for Mr. Bear if he wants.
“She bit me on the leg. She bit me on the butt,” he said, “and then she threw me on a log and cracked some ribs.”
typical date of odumbi and michelle.
I'm not so sure I agree.
Sounds like what the Dems tried to do to a certain Momma Grizzly.
They lost!
nothing like the fury of a mama bear trying to protect HER senate seat and steady stream of special interest money.
For the record: 35 mph = 3,080 ft/min = 51 ft/sec
So, it would take two fifths of a second to cover 20 feet. Still not a lot of time to take careful aim. But plenty of time to consider taking up a different hobby.
I usually have to pay extra for that!
I guess he was using a bolt action rifle. In those conditions he’s only going to get off one shot. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hunting Kodiak Island with a .375-caliber H&H rifle, Oberlitner always figured he was pretty well protected. The cartridge traces its history to the British company Holland & Holland, which designed it in 1912 for hunting dangerous African game — lions and tigers. It has even been used in Africa for hunting elephants and water buffalo, and has long been thought to be near the ultimate stopper for bears in Alaska.
Okay, here’s a rhetorical question: If a .375-caliber H&H Magnum rifle slug can’t stop a charging grizzly, how would an oversized can of pepper spray do the trick?
