My Federal Forestry workout buddy took a dead bear call; hit by a car. So, four of them arrived and loaded this massive “dead” bear into a pickup truck. As they drove it to area where they take dead animals they cut through a subdivision. Well, the “dead” bear woke up. So they stopped the truck and were trying to keep it in the back with shovels while the rifleman caught up to them. Well, it was now thoroughly awake and breaking shovels. It hopped down and was chasing them when the rifleman screeched to a stop whipped out the trank gun and shot the sucker in one smooth motion. As a side note, it takes a couple of minutes for the drug to work. This bear chased them until it was just walking. Then, finally, it fell over. (We laughed our *sses off at this story. He said, “Man, you haven’t lived until you’ve been chased by a really mad bear.”)
Great story.
