I have to wonder if this wasn’t excessive force. Yogi bear is one tough old bear for sure. I am surprised this person had enough time to shoot 10 times with 3 guns. MENTAL NOTE: Don’t break into this guys house, he is heavily armed!
Okay so this ISN'T that bear, it's still a nice big bear!
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A black bear that broke into a Boulder County home and charged at the homeowner was killed only after three rounds from a shotgun, five shots from a handgun and two from a rifle. Paul Fischer fired birdshot and a rubber bullet at the 120-pound bear it was found rummaging through the kitchen early Monday morning. The family escaped when the third shot seemed to disorient the bear.
Sheriff’s deputies found a bear trying to claw his way through a screen door when they arrived. Sgt. Lance Enholm fired his handgun five times at the bear after determining it was severely wounded.
Enholm says the bear kept moving toward him and was finally felled and killed by two shots from his rifle.
