You know about fake news. I saw this posted on line years Ago. It said then " 11 year old kills brown bear with bird shot."
Nowhere did it say "Elliot had birdshot as his top round in his shotgun to scare a bear off should they see one. Fortunately the rest of his shots were slugs." back then in 2017.
Regardless, the 11yr old had a big ol pair of brass hanging to keep him steady while a brown bear is coming point blank.
Stamp his man card "paid in full".

Yes, desperate to post something David Smith of wideopenspaces.com recycles two year old news knowing it will still garner a lot of clicks as all the old guys will have forgotten it by now. Lame-O

Lucky for him, if that Bear had been on Meth then it would have kept right on coming. Also, if he had used buckshot or slugs than it would have killed the bear twice as dead!

But seriously, this is why Bear Defense threads are so stupid. Bears aren't the four-legged Abrams Tanks that folks on forums seem to think that they are, and you don't actually need to have the biggest, baddest, most shoulder-bruising, wrist-fracturing firearm available to drop a bear, but folks will continue to argue about how nothing short of a .700 Nitro Express is adequate for the illusive, one-ton Kodak Camera Polar Bears who roam the frozen wastelands of Alaska, high on cocaine from all that Coca-Cola they're always guzzling.

Don't just stamp the kid's man card paid; if the gun he's holding in the picture is the one he carried, he gets the platinum card for running a pump.

Whoever taught this boy to shoot deserves a lot of the praise. The fact that he was familiar with his shotgun saved his life. This encounter is certainly something about which he'll be telling his grandchildren.
