Interesting back-and-forth between
bigfootbob an jewbacca.
There are a few things not mentioned in
the article that would affect shot
penitration. 1. Shot size. Pheasant
require a no.6 shot size due to the
average distance the bird is flushed
from the hunter along with the overall
mass of the bird.
Smaller upland birds tend to flush
closer to the hunter where a 7-1/2-8
shot size is used so as not to blow
the bird to smithereens.
The weight of the shot affects how far
it’effective killing range is and the
impact it delivers. The choke on a
shotgun determines how far spread out
the shot is in it’s effective killing
range. (something else the article does
not mention).
How close was the bear, what shot size
was used, and what was the choke on the
shotgun? (improved, modified, or full)?
I highly doubt a shotgun with a
improved choke, shooting 7-1/2 or 8 shot
at a 900lb charging grizzly at 30 yds
is going to have much of an affect.
The guy still had to have time to pull,
aim, and fire the 10mm, so that 30yds
guess is questionable.
A grizzly bear walking through the forest spots a rabbit taking a dump.
The grizzly bears says ‘hey Mr. Rabbit, does that shit stick to your fur?’
The rabbit answers back ‘nope!’
So the grizzly bear picks up the rabbit and wiped his butt with it...
Wouldn’t it work better if the shi7 did stick to his fur?
I had a #9 pellet ricochet off a close in clay target and stick in my cheek.
It was a Buck 119.
The bear broke his leg. This is point blank.
Some how I knew that,BUCK 119.
That may be a slippery handle with
‘Bear juice’ all over it.
.
Thanks.
Evidently, the bear suffered very little
damage from the shotgun. There are too
many variables that would pin it’s
effectiveness down.
Yes, he didn’t hit it.
The bear is also not relevant to the dispute.
You blew the joke. The bear says; “Mr. Rabbit, do you have a problem with shit sticking to your fur?”.
Doesn’t matter that he hit the bear, or
not. A shotgun without the proper load
to take on the task at hand, in some
cases is nothing more than a loud bang.
Not arguing with you, here.
Old, old joke.....
Still funny though.
I saw a horse with a broken leg that had been put down with a shotgun at very close range. One shot did the trick.
The 10mm was fired after the bear ran over him and broke his leg.
The shotgun was fired before the bear ran over him and broke his leg.
The shot from the shot gun was likely very close, maybe less than five feet, because he did not have time for a second shot.
We do not know for certain, because exact distances were not supplied.
