Two men met a grizzly bear while scouting for hunting areas and the encounter didn't end well. Both men were badly mauled by the bear.
Two men were hiking and scouting new areas for potential hunting grounds in British Columbia when they encountered a sow grizzly bear with cubs. The protective bear mauled both men and put them both in the hospital.
The attack occurred in the Dewar Creek area of the southern Purcell Wilderness Conservancy north of Kimberly, where the two men are from.
"It happened on Saturday, June 10 at about 9 p.m.," said Conservation Officer Joe Carravetta. "It was in the Dewar Creek areas up St. Mary's. These two guys were out hiking, scouting out areas for future hunting. They didn't have any firearms with them." Read the rest of the bear attack story here.
....Always carry bear spray and practice situational awareness when in bear country....
And a .44 mag.
Two men?
Then both are stupid.
Remember this old joke?
A bear jumps out of a bush and starts chasing two hikers. They both start running for their lives, but then one of them stops to put on his running shoes.
His friends says, “What are you doing? You can’t outrun a bear!”
His friend replies, “I don’t have to outrun the bear; I only have to outrun you!”
The bear asked that all inquiries be directed to his attorney.
Forget the spray. Just shoot.
“They didn’t have any firearms with them”.
Nuff said.
.”...Always carry bear spray and practice situational awareness when in bear country....”
Or do as I do, and stay a few hundred miles away from Bear Country.
The bear begs to differ...
The men were Democrats from Georgia...
Not easy getting into Bear Country, so these guys went to great lengths to try to kill themselves.

Many will argue its not enough, but I contend “enough” means as many shots on target as quickly as possible.
