Hunter Smokes Massive Bear With Pistol

2024-07-08

[OutKick via Fox News] A man used a pistol to take down a massive bear.

Generally speaking, you need some serious firepower to take down a bear due to its massive size, strength and muscle makeup. You don't want to find yourself in a showdown with a bear and be unarmed or only have a small pistol.

However, in a pinch, you have to work with what you have, and that's what happened to a hunter in Alaska.

#3 The Lewis and Clark Expedition,
also known as the Corps of Discovery,
were the first to warn us back in 1804 of the dangers of trying to take down a charging grizzly bear with a single rifle shot.
