In the paper this morning a man was given a ticket for killing a bear who was being aggressive towards his dog. He fired his .22 to scare the bear but hit it by accident. It ran into the neighbor's yard and died.

Where did he expect the warning shot to go that he "accidentally" shot the bear? That's some pretty bad shooting, right there. And one helluva shot, if he killed a bear with a .22. I call BS on it being an accident.

How did the bear taste?

Heck, I can't hardly even get a .22 to kill a porcupine without shooting it eight or nine times. I just use the .30-30 now: DRT

A .22 and a bear with one shot,I don't think so,I have been shot a couple of times with a .22 feels like a cigarette burn

I've never been shot

but I have seen quite a few bears shot. None with a .22 -- it just doesn't seem too likely.

That bear must have had Covid-19

This article makes no mention of caliber of gun

Ok, this one does

I guess getting shot in the eye could do it

**Steeveedee** · 09-24-2020, 07:57 PM

Well, a .22 WMR might hit hard enough...or at least better than I was thinking at first, which is .22 LR.

1976gmc20 · 09-24-2020, 09:34 PM

Or ".22" might have been a .223 or a .22-250 ...?

Still pretty light but maybe it was a smallish bear

Had a guy i work with get killed dead as hell with a .22, standing on the porch at a frat party. Cool Camaro, I'd love to get back out there in a non-working capacity. It's so gorgeous. I'd have to have my wife with me, which would take all the fun out of the mountain roads.

I'd hate to see what the interior of that one looks like now -- and I'd hate to be the person who cleans that interior.

71 was Camaro's best in my book. GMs best year too, though I'm probably bias
