Arizona -(Ammoland.com)- 11 year old Elliot Clark killed this charging grizzly with a shotgun in Alaska in July of 2017. He used a 12 gauge shotgun.
The first shot was ineffective, with bird shot. The second shot was a perfectly placed slug in middle of the nose. The third shot was to the shoulder. It is likely both would have been fatal. There were powder burns on the bears mouth from the third shot. The fourth shot was an insurance shot after the bear was down.
