And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
5 rounds between the eye and the ear (the thin part of the skull). The bear was fifty feet away when it started to walk towards her. She fired and calmly reloaded 4 times. And it was .22 long, not even LR. Quite a gal.
Bella Twin, that's how its done. stand your ground and make your shots count. it's all about having guts and shot placement, never back down or run, to do so is to die. i killed a mt lion in the great basin area of Nevada while deer hunting in my youth. she was overhead of me in a tall cottonwood tree next to a small spring when i saw her, tail back and twitching. i caught her under the chin with a 30-30. i always have regreted having to do that but it was her or me.
That little pop gun won't even give that griz a head ache.

I thought the same thing; .22?

Yeah, that guy's dead. He just doesn't know it yet.

DeleteModel 54s (produced from 1925 to1936) could also be special ordered in .35 Whelen. That'd do the trick.

Deletethat bear is soon to be a dead bear.
ReplyDeleteBella Twin, a tiny indigenous Canadian gal, killed the world record grizzly with 5 rounds from her single shot .22. A true fact.
ReplyDelete2 in the left eye and 3 in the right? Or was the bear chewing on the end of the barrel and swallowed 5 rds?
