The woman I was guiding said that while she did not remember smelling the bear’s breath, it was close enough to her face that it could have bitten her!

I wonder if they all had to change their pants after the encounter. I know I would have.

why was he carrying a 9 in the Alaskan bush? Is that a caliber typically use for defense from bears?

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I don't think Larry would've gotten too far with that stick.

My first shot was at its neck, and then it began growling and spinning toward the impact. I wanted to hit the head but the bear was moving so fast I simply began shooting each time I could hit a vital area. I hit it six times before it turned to run off, and my seventh shot was into its pelvis area as it ran. When it dropped within 6 feet of the last shot, I checked my pistol and found I had only a single round left in the chamber so decided against walking in and finishing it. My pistol was loaded with Buffalo Bore 9mm +P Outdoorsman 147-grain FN hard-cast loads that have a muzzle velocity of 1100 fps. I had previously tested, compared and proven such loads with my .357 and .44 mags., and I was convinced they would work.

I just got back from a Kodiak fishing trip, and the guides all agreed that anything less than a 44 would just anger a Kodiak Brown bear (barring a lucky shot). I imagine after this article that they'd still agree.

If I were in bear country like that I'd want bigger hardware, but with that said, dude just smoked Griz with a 9MM by placing multiple accurate shots on target. Kudos to him!

Damn, not only was it 9 mm but it was only a single stack.

Maybe not smart. But certainly a badass.

Good thing he didn't use a Judge. Would of been nothing left of the bear.
