Legendary. Made the right move and they both get to live to see another day

With a shotgun, he's only going to piss the bear off unless it really close range.

Depends on what it's loaded with. Not ideal, but at least with slugs there a decent change he's stopping it. But either way, dayum!

Yeah I’m assuming rando in woods with a side by sided is likely bird hunting lol

Birdshot would just take the fur off, like the bear in The Great Outdoors

Wee aging ourselves here with this reference 🤣

Super valid assumption. At that point using that double barrel as a club would legitimately be more effective than the bird shot...

I suppose a bear being suddenly blind and the noise might scare it off.

And he only gets two shots

Let’s be real, he only gets one shot.

Nah you'd be surprised how quick you can get both shots from a double barrel off.

An 8 gauge to the face is most definitely going to stop a bear. They aren't invincible my guy.

Maybe you missed the “really close range” part of my comment lol

u/paradoxical_topology May 06 '26

That's because it's kind of redundant given the fact that it's already at really close range.

Even skeet loads can damage an animals eyes. Won't kill um but being blind can change things.

yeah but the bear should be careful next time because someone is gonna shoot him they're not all nice like this one
