“Oh, pardon me, they are allowed a whistle.”

With some of the circumstances people posted to me, I am referring to those who venture out and get attacked.

You need to make LOUD noise. Convince the bear you are not worth eating.

If you are going to shoot it, I recommend at a good distance, if it falls on you, even dead you are done.
Bears have muscle in the “hump” on their back. Grizzlys can move 600-700 boulders with one arm.
I saw one push up a 700lb dumpster.
People need to realize that they exist too. As we expand as a species, we force other creatures to deeper into their territory that cannot fit the species.
I would never go near bear country or live there,
if I had to,
I want a gun that is gonna stop it in its tracks.

Bear populations have been expanding for the last 30 years.

Man is the dominant creature on the planet. Other species exist only on our sufferance. Yes, we want a variety of species, but they are not people with rights. They are resources.

Sorry. A hungry bear thinks everything is worth eating and any noise less than a 747 on take-off will not scare a bear away if he does not feel like leaving.

Those .50 calibers are real heavy to log around. That’s the only weapon I know of that will stop a grizzly in its tracks without a head shot.
