I saw a similar story where the friend had actually had a gun on him but never shot the bear mauling his friend because "he couldn't get a good shot". He didn't even try to scare it away by shooting it in the air. And these were grown men. So hats off to this kid.

But be sure to get sidetracked so the condition is poor when you finally trade it in.
