He said he sprayed the piss out of her. So much for bear spray being all wonderful I prefer a high quality firearm.
Reminds me of the joke with the punchline: “Admit it. You’re not just here for the hunting.”
Yeah, after the first mauling, I’d either find a safer place to hike or start hiking with a very large caliber firearm.
Reminds me of the joke, which I can’t post here, that ends with the punchline => So the bear grabs the gun from the hunter and says, ‘You don’t come here to hunt, do you?’
They came at him from 80 yards but he couldn’t get access to his firearm in time?
He’s a tough guy, but not very smart, Darwin almost got him.
Something seems off about the story but I’ll just put it down to the unpredictability of animals.
In Griz country my pistol would have been quickly accessible and used during the first encounter. First as a noisemaker, then as a weapon if needed.

Simple- don’t go where bears/mountain lions/sharks are and you won’t be attacked. They don’t come to your house(except rarely in remote locations). Our ancestors worked HARD to get out of the wilderness and make civilization. They fought off bears and all manner of hostile animals dreaming of not having to.They would think people like this are nuts to wander around the woods for no good reason. I, for one, have no desire to explore the wilderness and nature is just fine on tv, thank you. The environmental types are so understanding that they forget they are MEAT.

My grandmother told me that there is never a situation that cannot be made worse.
She also told me to shut up and eat my peas.
Dang! Apparently he had a pistol but for some reason didn’t or couldn’t bring it to bear. (See what I did there?)
We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any bears that might be close by so you don’t take them by surprise.
We also advise anyone using the outdoors to carry “Pepper Spray” with him is case of an encounter with a bear.
Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear scat and grizzly bear scat. Black bear scat is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear scat has bells in it and smells like pepper.
Leo DiCaprio should cover his bills, solidarity and all that you know.
He made it out alive?
Well, I’m sorry for his much slower friend...
