72. When I was on a job in Tok
I watched a ADF&G biologist help skin a grizzly for some hunter. When they pulled the skin off the skull they found five .357 magnum slugs flattened against the grizzly's forehead.

They attributed the finding to a city slicker that never returned from a hunting trip a few years earlier, who had bragged that he wasn't afraid cuz he had a .357 magnum....which he was warned was under-powered if using on brown bear.
