A Wyoming Game and Fish investigation into the May 31 shooting of a grizzly female who charged a dog and then faced a group of hikers determined it to be “self-defense.” Pinedale Regional Supervisor John Lund said the grizzly sow’s killing was justified under the circumstances. The incident occurred in the Boulder Basin area while four people were walking on a hillside with a dog that startled the female. They were not on a trail or road and not close to any buildings, he added.

Heard he used a 460 S@W X frame.

One shot at 12 feet 3 more to make sure it was dead.

Well see if I can find that story.

460?
he must have been a local.

That is my understanding he was raised just a few miles from the attack.

On May 31, 2018, at about two o’clock in the afternoon, 23-year-old Noah Kolis was guiding three friends from Chicago. They started at his boyhood home near Cora, Wyoming. His dog, a Chesapeake-Lab mix, was with them, heading to some rock formations nearby. Polis was carrying his 460V Smith & Wesson revolver. Two other men

Good thing there wasn't any lightening around!

the 460 is real popular in that area.
as is the 454.
I have spent a lot of time in Pinedale and the towns near there.

I just commented on the Montana Grizzly Bear shooting as well but Wyoming will soon be in the same boat, with as many Bears that are being killed in conflicts they may never have a sporting season.
Goes to show you though that when the carrying capacity of the range is full up on Bears more and more will be killed in these scenarios.

Many modern day bear apologists like to ignore thousands of years of human history.

That humans have always known that bears can be dangerous.

Oh I think there will eventually be a season in both Montana & Wyoming. There reason for not having it are getting slimmer by the day.

I'm looking forward to it!
