A Montana bow hunter is recovering after he survived a grizzly bear mauling by remembering a tip from his grandmother and shoving his arm down the animal’s throat.

Chase Dellwo, 26, was hunting with his brother northwest of the town of Choteau on Saturday when he came face-to-face with a 350- to 400-pound male grizzly, the Great Falls Tribune reported

Better that than hunters around the campfire wondering about a missing colleague:

“What happened to Joe?”

“Something he disagreed with ate him.”

So this is the difference between bearing arms and arming bears?

Baby grizz, try it on an adult male or female and see you in the next life.

Shoot an arrow down the throat.

Wrong answer.

Shoot an arrow into the bear's knee.

Then he won't be an adventurer any more.

Wotked with attack dog trainer wearing body pad protection. Always had great fear while off-duty, a Doberman or German Shepard would attack me unawares. Decided the only defense was a strong defense. Here is the technique I practiced but never employed:
Dogs always bite what you offer, raise offered leading arm and prep the back arm like a straight sword, flat hand pointed tight fingers. The dog will always leap at the target, mouth wide. Then, like a matador, thrust the sword-like hand down the dogs throat.
This knowledge gave me confidence I could easily kill a dog. Thankfully as yet, this remains a theory.

Freaking amatures...

You don’t shove your hand down a bear’s throat. you don’t shoot arrows into it’s knee.

You simply to the rather well endowed winged Nord Valerye in platform stripper boots standing aside you with a twice enchanted Daedric sword and say...

“Darling, can you make me a sammich?”

End of line...

I’d like to shove my arm down a few liberal’s throats.

Yeah, but the problem is libs are usually talking out of another orifice. I don't think you'd want to stick your arm down.. er... up that particular orifice.

Reminds me of a joke..........

Four guys have been going deer hunting for many years.

Two days before the group is to leave, Frank's wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn't going.

Frank's friends are very upset that he can't go, but what can they do.

Two days later the three get to the camping site only to find Frank sitting there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and dinner cooking on the fire.

"Damn man, how long you been here, and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?"

"Well, I've been here since last night.

Yesterday evening, I was sitting in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said, 'Guess who?'"

I pulled her hands off, and she was wearing a brand new see through nightie.

She took my hand and pulled me to our bedroom.

The room had candles and rose pedals all over.

On the bed she had handcuffs, and ropes!

She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed, and I did.

And then she said, "Do what ever you want."

So, here I am.

He`s lucky that bear didn`t think it had a right to the fellow`s arm.

What happens after you pull your arm back out? I mean, the bear might not take kindly to the gag maneuver.

I guess the little bells and pepperspray didn’t work.

Ok.... so while the arm is down the bear’s throat and it is in the throes of a gag reflex, it’s claws are absolutely shredding this invader’s body standing in front of it. Bear’s claws are to be feared as much a bear’s jaws.....
