Perhaps the movie Aliens said it best.

Apparently you and Karamojo Bell do not share the same philosophy

That's true. I would never kill an elephant for its ivory let alone thousands of them. happy hunting partner.

Good heavens man! Where are cue balls and piano keys going to come from? Not to mention the rampant unemployment amongst native gun bearers your policy could cause.

This idiot needs to present his theory to Cynthia Dusel-Bacon.

Pepper spray = condiment<\i>

An old time Alaskan friend of mine who happens to be over 70 and is taking me out bear hunting this year told me the problem with bear spray is after a time or two they learn to like it. They will actually come up to you and give you threat displays to get you to spray them.

All I know is that I sprayed a small nosy black bear this year and it took off like a scalded dog, and was back within 20 minutes rooting around behind the camp kitchen again. Kinda suspect double ought buck might have a more lasting effect.

I guess according to them, the only deterrent to a bear is wearing magic underwear.

One of my old supervisors used to take these hunting trips to Alaska. On this one trip all he had was a .22 rifle when a bear chased him up a tree.

The bear started climbing after him and he shot it numerous time in the head. He said all the rounds bounced off and just pissed off the bear.

It finally gave up and climbed down but he was treed for two days with the bear prowling around roaring the whole time.

After that he took his .44 mag with him on his trips.
