This Moose Didn’t Care About Warning Shots. That’s Why FRTs Matter

About this video

Colion argues against the effectiveness of warning shots when dealing with dangerous wildlife, using examples of encounters with moose, bears, and cougars. He breaks down why he believes animals don’t understand gun threats and contends that high volume of fire from firearms equipped with forced reset triggers is more effective than traditional marksmanship-focused approaches. Colion explains animal warning behaviors and advocates for having sufficient firepower to address wildlife threats quickly.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that warning shots are ineffective against wildlife because animals don’t understand what guns are and may not be deterred by noise alone
• Colion teaches that recognizing animal warning signs (like ears flattening and lip-licking in moose) indicates when a threat is imminent and negotiation time is over
• Colion advocates for volume of fire over precision shot placement when dealing with large animals, suggesting forced reset triggers can deliver multiple rounds rapidly into large targets
• Colion emphasizes the importance of hearing protection when using high-volume rapid fire, noting that multiple shots in quick succession create significant muzzle blast
