Actually, the old World Record griz was shot on May 10th 1953 by a 63 year old Cree native american woman named Bella Twin.
Shot in the ear with a .22
Look it up.
Ammo Land still has an article on it.

Looking forward to it.
The evil in this world needs to meet it's end.
I plan to be in Heaven.
We're definitely all gonna die, and many will be surprised where they end up....

That has been attributed to about a dozen different native groups ranging all across north America. Bullet location from ear, to eye to back of throat. I've more faith in a shaky Joe biden memory of corn pop...
Too many to count but this one always gets me…
While at a local outdoor range a guy walks over and asks if I can clear his jammed pistol. I'm looking at it and it appears the mag is jammed. Once I remove the mag I notice the bullets had been put in backwards, to which the guy replied in a literal and distraught face says……."I could have just shot my self in the head".

That's funny, once while mule deer hunting out in the hills I ran into an older local man I had known for years. While talking he noticed some small deer tracks in soft dirt going down the trail, and asked what size deer had made the tracks, I told him doe and fawn then he asked what direction they were goingToo many to count but this one always gets me…

It may be falsely attributed to dozens of people and people groups but if you google "may 10 1953, Bella Twin, bear, Slave Lake Alberta" you might find it interesting how much hard evidence and documentation exists (facts do get stretched, and new heroes, locations, and such get mixed into such epic tales, but it's a true story at its heart, a little old Indigenous Canadian lady (and yes in this case the attributed people group is correct, she was Cree) with single shot .22 and luck on her side). This is much more concrete and factual than Joe's memory
Bella Twin, the .22 Used to Take the 1953 World Record Grizzly, and More
On 10 May, 1953, Bella Twin was hunting small game with her partner, Dave Auger, along an oil exploration cutline south of Slave Lake. She was 63 years old.

This site helpfully includes photographs of the lady with the cape of the bear and of the skull of the bear which she shot in the head numerous times after it dropped to make sure it wasn't just stunned. In case the link doesn't work I'll add them here too

I do agree I've heard the story change a lot over time, but that's the nature of these awesome once in a generation or even once in a century events…like if you've ever played that telephone game, what the person at the end of the line hears may not be entirely accurate to what the original message was. But that doesn't mean there's no message or that the entire thing is made up. Just gotta check facts and weed out embellishments.

There's a long thread over in Long Range Hunting & Shooting that talks about that a bit! memtb
What gun would you want if the SHTF?
They have the skull with .22 bullet holes ol' faithful one.
