Scott had been loosely tailing this bear, in the hopes of an easy scavenge, but he lost sight of it a few hours before. Figuring he may as well keep going, no sense stopping now, he stayed moving in a generally straight line. Through it all he'd realized there were roughly ten in this mob. The hike only got harder, and he crested a hill only mildly concerned as to what lay beyond.<br/><br/>The rifle felt weighted on his shoulders after all the trekking through dense wilderness, but as he saw the field below he felt anew. Numerous hunters about to come across numerous boars. It would be a bloody struggle, no way to tell the outcome. He slid his rifle about and dropped to the dusty ground. Settling against a large rock, and balancing his rifle atop another, he takes a solid look at the two packs of hunters in the grassy plain below.<br/><br/>He notes the leader of one is carrying a strange contraption, but still one that could do damage. This holds his interest, as he studies it through his gritty scope. Then he hears the snarling mass of the bears getting louder, and as he looks forward he realizes there's a man running at him towards the hill he's laying prone on... and the man's holding a young razorback. And if that wasn't bad enough, there was the pack of bears, hot on his heels.<br/><br/>"Ah..!" Scott scrambles to a crouched position against the rock, but with the man running towards him he doesn't want to risk playing grim reaper. The heavy grain rounds should be plenty to stop the bears, given a shot to the brain, but the same could stop a man to the chest. In this case, even a leg shot could prove fatal. He glances around for cover, finding his way up a tree faster than he thought possible. But... Can't bears climb trees? Nevertheless, from this new position, he can fire without risking the man's death.<br/><br/>The silent rounds fly, hitting the lead bear with the sickening squelch of crushed flesh, meat, and bone. But for all the good they did, he may as well been throwing rocks. "That's not right..." Rounds that had the ability to pierce light body armor should go through these bears with no issue. But something's wrong... Scott climbs higher.
