I remember when that happened. Never saw, well what’s left of, his face. I’d have nightmares for life if I was with him and saw it. Can’t imagine what he has and is still going through.

Yeah, that pic is going to stay with me for a bit. Note to self, do not fuck with bears.

THIS.
I'm and X-ray and CT tech and have seen some shit, but this...whole other level. I'd have love to do the CT scan on him though. The 3D reconstructions would be AWESOME!

So he was able to get a 44 or 454 or some other large caliber round in the bears head? Looks like he shoved the pistol in the Bears ear?

And that's why I'm a fan of magnum buckshot rounds in a shotgun. Fuck carrying pistols and rifles for primary yogi defense.
I mean, that's it you have time,.or you even hear them.

This was an oddball case. Normally, bears just kill by garroting their prey from behind.

The Maneater Podcast has an entire one devoted to this incident. They interview Brett Bohn, the son of the gentleman who was attacked and the one who shot and killed the bear.

My guess is they already had help on the way and how exactly do you "apply aid" to a giant face crater? If he was conscious and breathing fine, I would just leave him alone for fear of doing more harm than good.

Wholly shit! Based on the OP & follow-up post:
-Man has his face ripped OFF by bear
-Man shoots bear with revolver once and kills it
-Man lives with face or bone structure turned to ground beef
-Man has reconstructive surgery to get a face back
-Man has bear skull, bullet, brass & revolver as souvenirs

That sound about right?...

ETA: Seems that man did not shoot & kill the bear, (2) other men did

Amazing, none the less...

I've never seen this argument made... that G19 is good for everything. I think that's pretty evident by the normal threads popping up of people asking what gun for bear country on a routine basis.

In GD once upon a time, people said the "9mm is good enough at enough things, and handguns suck at killing people anyway, so the G19 with its capacity is fine"
That's true. 9mm is fine for people.
Over time that morphed into, "The G19 is the best at EVERYTHING, and is even suitable for big bear defense

Sure a 1000lb grizzley is twice the size of african lion, but a 9mm that's "a marginal fightstopper" on 200lb fleshy humans, is now awesome on something 5x the size with claws, teeth, fur, and fat.
...did you know that old guide once peppered a bear and it walked off and died later? Choosing not to continue the attack?
That means 9mims is great."

Yeah fuck off with that nonsense. It all revolves around My Perfect Bear Attack^TM Where the bear sees you, waves, and lets you do an El Presidente drill, and the bear changes his mind, runs off and bleeds out.
Which is pretty much identical to a home-invasion where the homeowner uses birdshot, the guy runs away and bleeds out.
The tacticool crowd are often the fudds of the outdoors.
The talking points shouldn't be about capacity, expansion, and gel tests - on big stuff, It's about meplat, energy, and heavy hardcast rounds.

I've never seen this argument made... that G19 is good for everything. I think that's pretty evident by the normal threads popping up of people asking what gun for bear country on a routine basis.

I've seen it on several occasions and posted in those threads.
I can think of at least 3 threads where the "9mm is fine for bear" meme trickled out.
In particular, the thread(s) about the old guide.
(Saying "the old guide" is more than enough of a contextual clue to cite the threads where this comes up.)

A popular rebuttal line (if it could be called a rebuttal) amounts to, "Jesus Christ guys it's a grizzly bear not an Abrams tank"

Which is funny but ridiculous. I laughed

It's still shit advice and deserves to be mocked.

We found seven cases where 9 mm pistols were used to defend against bears. All were successful.

Five were Griz/Brown.

I worked in an ED for many years as just a general tech. We had a teen girl brought in that got hit in the face with 00 buck from a failed suicide. Her face looked Ike this guy's. The plastic surgeon looked at it was meh..I got this..and he did.

Just amazing what these guys can do
