    I need to move to colorado. It would be cool to live near more people like that family. The parents look like they're doing a fine job raising the kids and the kids both appeared self sufficient and level headed. The brother was good about giving the youngin credit and both handled the interview in a pretty mature fashion.

    I'm wondering what happened to the bear after being lit up with what I'm assuming was birdshot. That's about the time a few slugs in the tube would come in handy.

    1187. The video gives you a better look when she hits the latch near the lifter to close the bolt. You can also see the two gaps in the forend up front by where it vents gas from the piston.

    Watch the video embedded in the news story if you're visiting the thread; the girl is fearless. She brought two shotguns to the fight, and got four shots on the bear (recreating from where in the video).
