Apex predators do not belong in the lower 48. Our ancestors, as in many other things, knew better.
Ya definitely gotta keep pulling the trigger but a .454 Casul will do the job.
45-70 is a heavy hard hitting round. I carry it in a marlin stainless steel 1895 guide rifle. I don’t care how big an animal is, you hit it with that under 100 yards, it’s going down.
I am guessing they will attempt to trap her and they have to take her out now that she has killed a human or else she will do it again as she will definitely see humans as a food source. The cub could be taken in and raised in captivity.
Most fatal attacks by North American black bears during the past century were conducted by lone, male animals that stalked and then killed their human victims as prey.
The common belief [ promoted by the enemedia ] that surprising a mother bear with cubs is the most dangerous kind of black bear encounter is inaccurate. Instead, lone male black bears hunting people as a potential source of food are a greater cause of deadly maulings and related predatory attempts.
People traveling or camping alone were the mostly likely victims — almost 70 percent of the fatalities involved single person. Only 9 percent of attacks occurred with more than 2 people present.
Beware the bear that stalks in silence: followed by a fast rush. Once predatory behavior is initiated it may persist for hours unless it is deterred.

I'm guessing "eaten by a bear".
Congratulations to the cub on its award. Does every cub who kills a human get one?
Only if it is the cub-of-the-year.
That is a great book.
I meant is killing a human a requirement for being named cub-of-the-year?
I know Ambrose is a bit of a liberal turd, but I have enjoyed some of his stuff. For some reason, that passage really fired my imagination...it wasn’t too hard to visualize!
One can almost imagine the indians talking to each other:
HAIR STUCK IN SADDLE: “Running with Yellow Shoes, should we stop them from attacking the great bears?”
RUNNING WITH YELLOW SHOES: “Hell no! Lets see if we can sell tickets!”
It’s not too old it’s just not enough gun.

Thank you. It is on my list next time I head into town.
Because liberal puke groups are suing the federal government after the park services wanted to allow some minimal grizzly hunting.
Thank you Earth whatever it was...cannot recall the main group name in the suit.
However, the hunting war has really become heated as the agenda 21 folk want the land cleared of hunting, ranching, recreation, and farming. The use of excessive numbers of apex predators is a great tool.
The EPA is out of control.
Hunters are finding themselves being tracked by bear.
Great read, thanks for this post.
Well .. every time we have a liberal govt., they stop most of the animal hunting. Therefore, those who still try to hunt for food for their families .. are only becoming food for the animals.
He had no interest or concerns in us banging pots and pans, etc, and none of us were carrying, so here we are later after a chance to have some "camping cocktails" and figure out what we would do if he came back...:)
