He’s very fortunate to have survived one bear attack, let alone a second while he was still injured from the first. He’s got to feel lucky to be alive. God has a purpose for him in this life, he needs to find it.

Love the old joke about telling the difference between black and grizzly bear scat. The former contains seeds and berries. The latter has that along with bells and whistles, and it smells like pepper spray.

Compare this incident to the guy in Alaska who was carrying a Glock 10mm: one dead bear and part of a toe shot off (self inflicted).

They are around up here. Well armed and very aware at all times when outside is the idea.

I saw this on Facebook. The guy had a pistol and the bear attacked him twice and he never got his gun out. The bear ripped the holster off of him in its .2nd attack. Not that a pistol would be the perfect weapon to shoot a bear but the bear was on top of him both times, he could have shot it in the head.

Clearly, this guy invaded the bear’s safe space.

August 2009, different story, different outcome. This man, Greg Brush, lives in Alaska and when he walks his dog
he holsters a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan snub nosed .454 Casull.

He heard a twig snap, turned around and saw this 900 pound brown bear charging from 30' away.

“Total luck shot,” he said. “It doesn’t get any closer. He slid by me on his chin when I shot him,” Brush said.

“I was backpedaling as fast as I could. I wasn’t even aiming. I tripped over my own feet as I pulled the trigger.”
