Re: At what point would you shoot a grizzly/other predator in self defense?
I've thought about this a lot, and considering how fast I am, how good a shot I am, and how much time there will be, I think the most realistic scenario is that I'll be shooting a grizzly in a self defence situation when it's knocked down my buddy and I have a fighting chance of manning up. I'd love a guarantee that in a charge I'll have plenty of time to set up and get ready, but I doubt that's something to count on.
