Stupid should HURT.
This is really stupid and should have been fatal.

he caught sight of a large male grizzly bear, walking in his direction. "I wasn't really sure what to do about the situation,"

Ummm, back away slowly at first and then take off on your bike?

Is it just Americans that can't carry handguns in Canada or are Canadians handcuffed too?

(I wouldn't much care about their rules. Its MY life!)

He looks like a snowflake liberal. I’m surprised he carried such a weapon of mass destruction as a knife...gasp! A 357 would be a bit more appropriate.

“Insp. Murray Smith said the bear was put down after it snuck behind one of the officers.”

Nobody likes a sneaky bear

We moved up to the Colorado mountains recently and saw my first black bear out on our deck, just ten days ago, drinking from our hummingbird feeder. Standing at only 5’6”, I still couldn’t believe how absolutely massive his claws were! I’ll have to figure out how to load a pic to the profile page...

The bear kept its eyes on Dowler as he cut off one of his shirt sleeves and wrapped it around his leg.

To be fair, that was a nice gesture on the part of the bear.

Sometimes the bear gets you and sometimes you get the bear. In this case the bear got shot for doing what comes naturally. Man 1. Bear 0.

bear being a bear
I hate animal activists, I'm not one

I don't believe the cops' story in 100 years, it was a silly excuse to bear hunt w/badge

I came around a curve on a dirt road in my pickup, and there was a bear on the road.

The bear turned around and went up the hill like he had rockets attached to him.

They are fast.

He voted for Hellary, right?

If only he’d shared his granola with the bear.
