I can't go with his story. As far as the trooper's report goes - well, I think they let this guy slide. Just think about the time element and caliber. First off, anyone ever shoot a full house load in a 454 from the hip - ever done it twice? Now the time element - a big brown in full charge mode closes on you at the approximate rate of 44 feet per second. He first became aware of the bear at 20 yards and the bear was already at top speed - that gives the shooter about 1.5 seconds before "up close and personal" contact occurs. He was able to draw and fire 3 hot 454 loads from the hip and kill that bear in less than 50 feet, as the bear came to a "dead" stop 5 feet from the shooter. I think there's more to that story and the residents up there not believing a word of it, probably know the "whole" story.
