I have also seen .454 SRH's fired with extreme rapidity
Three times in less than a second? Where's the YouTube on that? I'd like to see it.
They will sometimes fire twice in quick succession....
Second bullet would go about straight up, we all know that.
And you say three dogs could fail to detect a bear only a few yards from them? These were German Shepherds......you know, the famous drug-sniffing dogs?
Still no explanation for why he changed his story from one to three dogs.......had he remembered that someone witnessed him earlier in the walk with three dogs--so he had to amend his first story that it was one dog that ran for home after seeing the bear?
Obviously not truthful.
Nor do I see any skid marks or gouges in the gravel road where it lies.
Nor do you see any marks from that colorfully described full speed "really motoring" "charge."
state officials vetted Brush's story
Vetted? Your careful choice of words reveals a lot. Those officials only determined that the bear was not shot illegally.....and that's all. They apparently had no evidence that it had been shot, because where it was hit or why it would have dropped in its tracks has still not been mentioned by anybody involved.
And that, normally, would be the key bit of information in such a story.
Where is the evidence it was hit by a car?
I didn't say it was hit by a car. I said there were no bullet-wounds showing and thus it looked more like it had been hit by a vehicle than it looked like it had been shot.
You're the one who changed that into me saying it had been hit by a car.
The bloody mouth is classic evidence. Looks just like too many big car-killed dogs I've seen.....and without any guts or bones protruding as in your drama-filled description.
i didn't notice any bumpers or fenders or glass in the picture
Maybe it was hit by a logging truck.
You have some strange axe to grind here.
That's a strange statement, considering that you are trying so desperately to make an impossible story sound possible.
It's not. That's easy to see.
The only question is: Just how much of it actually happened?
What's the evidence?
All we have is a very old, very dead, very skinny bear laying in the road. No bullet-holes showing in the head, yet it was dropped in its tracks while charging at high speed as though by a frontal brain shot........ACCORDING TO THE STORY.
We also have a guy who doesn't know how many dogs he had or how many times he shot or where or if he hit the bear.
Hah!
