OMG! What a bear! We have been bear hunting in British Colombia and I have seen how fast these guys can move. If you didn't see him coming and be ready to shoot, he could be on top of you so quick.

A number of years ago on The American Sportsman, there was a Polar Bear hunt with some well known country singer. He was carrying a 338 Win Mag, while his Inuit guide was carrying an old Hawken black powder in 50 cal. There was some joking about it.

They found a reasonable trophy bear to take and the singer proceeded to shoot. It was a good shot as the camera showed the hit about shoulder high. Problem is it only made the bear angry and he charged the crew.

The shooter went to chamber a second round and jammed the rifle. The camera crew was backing away in panic, and the guide calmly raised his Hawken, fired, and dropped the bear at their feet.
