She had backup.
Once the bear rounded the corner into the backyard, the rest of the pack of hounds saw the bear and went absolutely nuts. Eight beagles all howling at once. It was pandemonium.

No offense, but I don’t think 8 beagles are going to intimidate a momma bear.

My neighbor has a couple ankle bitters who think they are bears. They even kick sand with their front paws. I guess when you kick sand, that makes you extra badass.

Unfortunately for da bears, they are not top on the totem pole of creation. They are overpopulated for the amount of land the illegal invaders have left for them in our country.

However, on the upside they have much more land now available in Mexico and South America.

It's better than a frying pan.

Well....

Better, yes, however, a cast iron skillet can be useful.

I don't know about you, but I would include "rabid mountain lion" in one of my worst-case scenarios.

“another note is that tracking a wounded bear of any sort through think cover is certainly not where you want to take that .22 with you that you just used to wound him/her”

Damn right. We ran a black bear and 2 cubs out of camp and they headed into a thicket right beside the tree where the bear bag was tied off. Three of us drew straws to see who it was gonna be to go untie it and re-hang it on a better limb.
