GRANTS PASS, Ore. -- A Grants Pass man woke up in the middle of the night, and came face to face with an intruder. That intruder was a bear, and the man jumped into action.
Everett Skinner was awakened by his daughter in the middle of the night. Skinner grabbed his shot gun.
"I shot him once with the gun and that didn't bother him" skinner explained. "I put a third shot into his mid section and he was still growling and roaring" said Skinner. It took three more shots to finally put the bear down.
The bear eventually collapsed dead. Ironically, Skinner explained the bear did with his head next to a picnic basket. Skinner says it was all over in about a minute. He says the bear had run out when the two saw each other, and is sorry that he had to kill the bear, but says it had to be done.
Most of these guys sound like they go to sleep expecting a grouse to break in to their home. It's called birdshot for a reason.
What’s the kick on that 50 cal BMG?
It's a photoshop, but I have seen a larger single shot 50BMG.
They're already available. Here's a Mossberg 590, 8-shot tubular magazine.
Birdseed = Birdshot. Maybe it thought it was a big bird.
