Anybody know anything about this one? Was the 72 year old berry picker armed with a 22 mag?

Where did you hear it was a .22mag ?

Sorry for the confusion, that's a reference to the Shoot2Hunt/Form Friday podcast where Form discusses the virtues of 22mag as a bear headshot tool.

No word on the weapon used in this actual case.

I thought I saw an article that mentioned he killed the bear with a 10mm handgun but don't remember for sure.

I read 10mm somewhere too but can't cite the source.
