    Two friends out hunting elk with bow.

    Bear charges out of bushes right on top of Meyers, who sprints, trips, and falls. Hill drops his bow, pulls “10 mm Springfield” pistol and shoots bear in right side as it goes by.

    Bear redirects onto Hill. Hill shoots bear three times in face and once in shoulder before bear grabs his left arm and uses him to beat the earth.

    Meyers pulls 1911 .45 ACP, fires four or five shots and gun jams. Clears jam, runs up on bear, keeps shooting. Shoots head and finally spine.

    Hill can feel impact of shots thru bear’s grip into his arm. one shot pass by his head. Bear loosens grip slightly and Hill frees arm. Gets his gun off ground and puts three more in bear’s head.

    24 shots. 530lb, 20 year old dead bear known locally as “King of the Hill.”

    Hill not aware his arm is injured until Meyers tells him to take off his shirt.

    Airlifted to the hospital, 40 staples, and a lot of stitches. Luckily no arteries punctured.

    Strange dude enters thru sliding door, takes off shoes and sox, approaches sleeping man and woman. When they wake he tells them he’s looking for Rebecca and he’s stayed in their house before. They don’t know him.

    Woman gets .22 revolver from nightstand, marches him to front porch, man calls police.

    SD gets agitated waiting for cops (no cops on patrol 0200-0700, staffing shortage), wife points gun at him, he wanders away. Somewhere in there she fires two shots, but apparently not directly at him.

    Cop finally shows, tracks him down nearby, arrests him for trespass and failing to register as a sex offender. Turns out this is not his first rodeo.
