Nikolayenko followed a bear which came out of hibernation in December of 2003. Nikolayenko carried bear spray. He approached the bear, the bear attacked, killed and ate him in spite of his use of bear spray. It was the first fatal failure of bear spray which has been recorded. It has not been the last.

Someone make a statute of bear scat so we can honor him.

The really sad thing about Treadwell incident was he brought his girlfriend with him on the fatal campout.
I've read that he was killed first, so his girlfriend watched him being killed and then watched the
bear approach her. Treadwell was a fool.

Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear shats you out!

While hunting SE Alaska mainland roughly 12 years ago I found a (huge) pile of brown bear crap. Sticking out of the top of the pile was a black bear claw, curious I dug through the pile with a stick and recovered an entire set of black bear claws.

Sat in my desk drawer for a few years along with an octopus beak I’d recovered from a very large halibut stomach.

Let this be a lesson of what happens when you’re not smarter than the average bear.

Yeah, but the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with brown bears.

The Founding Fathers knew that someday We The People might have to take their government back from the totalitarians.

Actually, I believe bears are not stupid.

They would feign interest in philosopy just to get a....little closer.

In the wilderness if you’re not at the top of the food chain then you’re on the menu.

Neither do ghetto rats. Firearms definitely matter.
