Yeah but those are some stand up young men to stand there and take care of business. He did a good job raising them.

Yep, might as well use ketchup.

A good friend of mine is a hunter. He has extraordinary eye and hand skill. As a child I saw him pick off birds.
He went bear hunting years ago. If I remember correctly, you shoot the neck, blow out the spine.
So he corners the bear in the tree. His buddies are watching. He says he will hit the heart with the second shot. Bang, through the neck. Falling through the air, bang, through the heart.
That 400 pound bear scared the hell out of him.
His buddies couldn’t believe it. He hit the heart before he hit the ground.

Those fir arms must be controlled. You got that right, brother.
Dangerous. Ver-r-r-y dangerous.

Bear repellant spray. Simply my opinion, but it just SOUNDS stupid. Does it really work? I’m not willing to test it.:)

There was a kid here in NJ(West Milford) that was killed by a Black Bear last week.

That would have to be one hell of a shot if the bruin were charging at you. From what I understand these suckers can move fast.

I realize that this is a serious topic but can’t help mentioning my experience with Yellowstone bears. They just love hostess twinkees. Bear turned friendly, actually affectionate. (I didn’t stay close long enough to find out where that may have led us...)

I used to carry it in bear country, because I figure a false sense of security is better than no security at all.

A bear skull, from front on, is like the sloped armor of a tank. Against a level, perpendicular shot, thickness increases with angle of slope...

Was it racist to use the word “charging” back in 2012?

Shooting a bear in the head is tricky business. I've seen some skull pictures and explanations about this. Shooting directly into the nose area, the nasal cavity will guide the projectiles directly into the brain.
The skull can bounce the bullet. The eye sockets can guide it off to the side of the brain.
Even so, I'd rather start while the fellow is more than just a few yards away.

Amen to the false sense of security. ;)

Hey, whoa - the Second Amendment sez that young lady has the right to bear arms. And those are some bear arms that she's got there.
What?
