14-year-old Hunter Shoots Charging Kodiak Bear at 15 Yards | The Woodsman Hut | Forums

and isn't able to keep it, that's messed up

Kodiak bears are the largest bears anywhere on the planet—a distinction they share only with polar bears. A hunt for one of these creatures is a once in a lifetime opportunity, but 14-year-old Kavin Roberts was not hunting for bear when he came across one in late October. Instead, the Kodiak native and his uncle were out chasing deer when they stumbled into an adult Kodiak that had been stalking them. According to Alaska State Troopers, the bear had started following the pair during their deer hunt and ambushed them in an unspecified location on Kodiak Island, Alaska. Being a more experienced hunter than his uncle, Roberts fatally shot the brown bear at 15 yards.
