[QUOTE="Rick79, post: 2491155, member: 122560"] I had my .40 with me on that trip, didn’t have to use the 10mm on the last one. Of the 15 rounds, I’d say 10-11 were hits for sure. I would bet that more of them hit than that though. This was not my first high stress shooting event and the range was so close missing would have been pretty hard. Per federal fish and game, we had to leave it as it fell, the head was lifted for the picture. We even asked if they wanted us to cape it to save the hide and were told not to. It was warm enough the hide had slipped by the next morning. If they did a post mortem we did not hear anything back on it. From what we heard, it was over a month later before the Federal guy was able to go in to collect the remains and finish his part of the investigation. Yes, it did go to a federal and state DA to see if they wanted to press charges. It was a justified DLP, so none were ever filed. The shotguns the guides carried has 00 buckshot. They also carried a “fire cracker” round for the 12ga to try to scare bears away if they were able to. Fed guy: did you have bear spray? Me: yes Fed: where was it? Me: on my left hip Fed: where was your pistol and why did you choose it? Me: on my right hip and I trusted it more than a can of spray Fed: at what point did you start shooting? Me: when the guide said “shoot the MF’r!!” [/QUOTE]
