Too stupid to draw his weapon. Hard to sympathize.

Well did say “Hey bear”. The bear just wanted to know what he wanted.

This excerpt from the article reads like an autobiography of Webb Hubbell describing his impregnation of Hillary which created the Chelsea spawn...
"She suddenly stopped and just stood on top of me. I will never forgot that brief moment. Dead silence except for the sound of her heavy breathing and sniffing. I could feel and her breath on the back of my neck, just inches away. I could feel her front claws digging into my lower back below my backpack where she stood. I could smell the terrible pungent odor she emitted. For thirty seconds she stood there crushing me. My chest was smashed into the ground and forehead in the dirt. When would the next onslaught of biting began. I didnt move."

I was thinking that it might he hard to bring a weapon to bear (teehee) in the shock of being charged by largest carnivore in the lower 48, but he did manage to get his bear spray out...And then I read that he chose not to shoot "out of respect for the bear." Come again??? Grizzlies are magnificent creatures, for sure. But no griz on earth is worth more to me than my own hide. :)
I've read repeatedly that bear spray is more effective than a firearm at stopping a bear's charge. I guess not.

Why bother having a gun? This would be THE crowning moment that you should be thankful you brought it. Dumbass. Must be a liberal.

So not only was this armed guy stupid for the first attack, he was stupid for the second attack as well.

Happened in October.
Why it is being reported AGAIN by this (the Alaska magazine) site is quite odd.
Note: I am not blaming you w1n1 for posting it here, it’s just odd that the magazine re-posted it.
Happened about 40 miles from me...

I hate when bears don’t respect my choice not to use firearms.

Yeh, some jacka$$ wants to see some elk, but should kill a bear protecting her young, instead. Stay the hell away, Or use bells. But don’t kill the bear because he just had to hike in their territory.

You can always tell when bears meet hikers. Examine the bear scat and if it contains those little hiker warning bells, there has been a bear incident.
To: albie
Why bother having a gun? In case he ran into a conservative.

To hell with the bear! First encounter was close but he had time to deploy bear spray, he had time to shoot. He probably brought a .22 with him, or something as equally useless against a bear.
