I noticed my shoulder was dislocated. I managed to pop it in myself and thought I'd better go and get some help," Sounds like John Shorter didn't need any help, matter of fact he might not even have needed the rifle, this guy is tough.

Shouldn’t he be charged with something? If in USA he would be.

Bear Attacks: The Deadly Truth
I think this is the best of the bear attack books. I have a copy and have given one away as a gift. An excellent read.

If a bear mauled me, I’d be ticked off too. ;’)

The Forest Service used to issue .375 H&H Magnums to their folks in Alaska...sounds about right to me.
Of course, that was 30 years ago. Now, they probably issue talking points and tapes of classical music to play while you are being mauled.

As Alaskan natives told me: "If you do, file off the front sight." When I thought about it a moment, this made zero sense. So I asked "Why?" "So it doesn't hurt so much when the bear shoves it up your ." The preferred weapon in Alaska seems to be a 12ga with big slugs. When I was up there, 2 Air Force personnel were hunting Grizzlies with rifles, one shot a grizzly and it rushed him, bit into his rifle. He raised his front leg up next to his mouth and snapped the wooden butt stock off like it was a toothpick. The hunter's partner shot and killed the bear, but not soon enough to save him.

Does anybody remember Dan Ackroyd, in an SNL skit, saying “never feed a marshmallow to a bear like this” while putting a marshmallow in his mouth and tipping his head sideways?
