While there may be an exaggeration or two, there is nothing incredible about it. And mind you, in the early 1930's bears were far less familiar with humans invading their habitats. I enjoy sharing family stories, so please grant me that joy. Keep your skepticism to yourself, and don't be a troll. I do cherish the story, so please do not be rude.

I know you cherish this story, but putting the gun in the bear's mouth...really. you don't just go up to a bear, and a bear certainly does not let you put a gun in its mouth, especially a fucking rifle. Think about it, a bear, a black bear if this "story" occured in C. Oregon, would be at about your grandfather's waist...standing up it would be just below his shoulders, did he shoot the rifle from his hip, hollywood-style? I guess the bear could have been docile enough to allow this if he was really full on porridge. And lastly, bears don't typically become aggressive until before they go into hibernation or if there was a cub involved. shot a bear w/ a .22? co..bullshit..ugh.
