Mantis--that's an old myth. It's based on experiences where the hunter shoots the top of the bear's head, where the big lump is. It doesn't kill the animal so they assume the bullet was deflected. In reality that's not brain or skull, but a huge mass of jaw muscles. A .30-06 will NOT deflect off a bear's skull. But you do need to aim lower than you may think to hit paydirt.
