“I could picture a dinky .22 rimfire just pissing off the bear, if you didn’t hit it just right. Given my druthers, I’d be in a different state entirely, even with my 12 gauge magnum load.”
Occasionally we get black bears this time of year and they get into our trash at night.
I blast them with a phalanx of BB’s from a Umerex Steel Storm. 30 BB’s in 2 or 3 seconds. The bears do not return.
It would be illegal to use a firearm on the bears.
Clearly if I was in the woods I would bring a pistol.
Ha!
Sounds like Fun,
Till it ain’t!
