.."it's a man killer" Anthony Hopkins 'The Edge'

“When asked what it felt like to be charged by a Grizzly, he said you feel like you’re being approached by overwhelming power.”
I’ve had a couple girlfriends who could radiate that feeling.
Guess the bear heard the Elk call, smelled the elk and proceeded from there.
Wonder how big the bear was?
Grizzly expert said he saw a grizzly running uphill, over a lot of logs going 30 miles an hour.
In this bear market, I suppose stocking up on arrows (or ammunition of any kind) would be a smart move.
P.S. I’m stocking up.
Pepper spray ?!?
What no bells?
I can't for the life of me remember who or when it was, but I do remember the pic that was posted here -- of the very dead black bear lying in a pool of blood, and the little white PBT standing over the bear with an expression of modest pride . . . .
FALSE PREMISE:
Two guys are hiking and at the bend in the trail they startle a grizzly. One of them starts running and the other says, “you can’t out run a grizzly.” The other guy says, “I just have to out run you.”
In real life the bear will fixate on the runner and ignore the guy who stands still.
Sign at trailhead of a national forest:
BEWARE OF BEARS
Wear bells, carry pepper spray and know the telltale signs of bear feces:
1) Black bear feces has bits of fur and berries.
2) Grizzly feces has bells and smells of pepper spray.
where did you claw that pun up from?
It occurred to me as I my life savings flashed before my eyes as I was being mauled by this big bear market.
Nah - the bears are on a no brass diet.
Or anyone else, for that matter. Well, it SHOULD be.
I’ve heard that a .22 LR is the most effective bear medicine. You shoot the person nearest to you in the knee then run like hell.

I’ve heard that. Course theory and reality can often times not match up.
If I got a grizz on my tail I want a desert eagle at my side.
I think you would die first since the bear is more likely to fixate on the runner.
The experts in the article said pepper spray was more effective, but they didn't explain why.
Maybe you don't have to be a marksman with the spray.
Hey kanawa,
Look at these wussies that needed an arrow to kill a bear ; )
Seriously though,
Imagine the concentration needed to shoot that bear with him attacking your son and all the emotion that comes with it.
Great shot, sometimes pressure makes you even better, Dad is truly a stud, BRAVO!
You’ve seen crazies shot by cops with pepper spray just keep on coming sometimes.
Ya hardly ever see a guy keep coming after hit with a 50 cal a couple times.
No bears here in S.E. Florida but we do have 600 pound wild hogs running around tearing things up.
As opposed to the bloody happy meal hopping away on one leg? That's my plan and I'm sticking to it.
Hopefully you realized that this was a joke ;-).
Personally I think a .44 mag would be the minimum that I would take to grizz country.
