I was shooting my .45 into the water at about 30 degrees and the rounds were skipping
If the water is 30 degrees that explains why your bullets are skipping.
Where are you? Antarctica?

hey there say, cragman and all... i just keep thinking how lucky it was for all, that no one was out on the porch that night, watching the stars... :O
same with crimper's house, that time, too...
or, being out early in the morning to see the sunrise, :O
it's a hard call to decide for a nice evening outside, with those bears around :( ... whewwww....
*i did see an interesting article that said that bears had been so conditioned to raid garbage dumpsters etc, that when they can't get into them (the newer, bear-proof type ones), that THAT is one of the reasons that they have now been moving up to the houses...
this kind of made sense to me... before that, i kind of figured they'd just leave if they found nothing to eat... i was very surprised to read how many are trying to enter homes now... *i know: the've been preconditioned for too long, to come near... :(
looks like outdoor evening cook-outs are a no-go in some of these housing areas now?...
:(

30 degree angle, Ron, for those who may be clueless. Apparently the slow and bulky .45 ACP round tumbles in the water a bit....It hits the water at a weird angle (30 degrees) and then skips. Probably the rifleing too and the bullet spin.
Still an awesome round though.

I can only hope for Cragmans sake that "His lord and savior Jesus Christ" Does'nt have a fondness for hungary black bears also one of gods creatures
Idiot.
I haven't read this whole thread yet, but I knew there would be dipshits like this chiming in.
Do you even know Dean??? He already said his wife is a bear-hugger, animal lover.
At some point you gotta kill, or be killed.
Simple.

You still haven't put the pajamas on the bear.
Blue, gee I'd've never figured it out.
(But if you shoot a .45acp FMJ straight into water it remains intact and can retain substantial energy compared to a .223 that disintegrates)

Ron, no, it appeared as though the whole round skipped. not fragmented. It f*#king bounced once!
My father-in-law saw it too! "Did you see that round skip???"
Weird. All the more reason to be carefull where you're shooting.....
EDIT: Kenny, relax. I ain't into hate. Just back off Doug. He was protecting his family.
That' s all.

Sorry about the bear Cragman-tough call.
I can't help but chuckle though when I see this:
"I haven't read this whole thread yet, but I knew there would be dipshits like this chiming in"
Oh the irony...
Cheers,

I have a question. Cragman said that he first heard a couple of loud noises.
Isn't it possible the bear was looking for food, not people to eat?
Most bears are looking for easy pickings. They like to grab and run. Did you leave food out in plain sight? just wondering?
A few years ago, I was camping by Selden Pass. Sleeping out in the open. Sometime in the middle of I heard something walking pretty close to where I was sleeping.Turned on the headlamp, and saw a good sized bear. he goes down about fifty below me, and encounters some more people. turns out these folks had left a pot of chili out on their stove. the pot was gone the next morning. bottom line, bear did not molest me.

It's a tuff call since the bears in that neighborhood had become way too accustomed to feeding off the human food. Breaking into homes with my family home is not acceptable. If a Bear runs at me in my house, I'm shootin!
Did you field dress the bear Cragman and use it for food and tan the hide?
