deer hunting trip with a tall bear
story—and the bear to prove it.
The bruin he’d shot weighed about
650 pounds and was seven feet

only 30 feet away when he fired
his first shot, the bullet striking
the bear in the nose. The bear

second bullet drilling into its side.
Another hunter then shot the bear
in the foot, turning it to one side,
and Bernard’s third shot broke it
leg. ending its enraged rush.
