Nerves of steel to get an accurate shot off at 10 feet that was able to drop that animal.

He was only going to get one shot.

My friend who hunts elk in Montana and Idaho grizzly country always carries a 10mm Glock as well in case they are surprised by a bear.

So far, he’s never had to use it.

from that article:

“The friends could not follow the second round wound channel, because the head, skin, and paws had to be turned in.”

Non hunter* here: what’s that all about?

*(love to go hog hunting one day)
