>>2554578"Bella Twin, an Indian girl, and her friend Dave Auger were hunting grouse
near Lesser Slave Lake in northern Alberta. The only gun they had was
Bella's single-shot bolt-action .22 Rimfire rifle. They were walking a
cutline that had been made for oil exploration when they saw a large grizzly
following the same survey line toward them. If they ran, the bear would
probably notice them and might chase, so they quietly sat down on a brush
pile and hoped that the bear would pass by without trouble. But the bear
came much too close, and when the big boar was only a few yards away, Bella
Twin shot him in the side of the head with a .22 Long cartridge. The bear
dropped, kicked and then lay still. Taking no chances, Bella went up close
and fired all of the cartridges she had, seven or eight .22 Longs, into the
bear's head. That bear, killed in 1953, was the world-record grizzly for
several years and is still high in the records today."
