This is an exclusive to AmmoLand. Notice the coverage of a successful defense against a bear with a handgun, vs. the failure to use bear spray which resulted in injury to the hiker in Wyoming (bear spray cannister bit).

When it comes to black bears most any good handgun with good ammunition well work.

I must really be a city person. I’m reading ‘shed antler’ and thinking ‘antlers that are kept in the shed’.

Took me a minute to understand the phrase.

...shed antler hunter...

Saw a YouTube video of a hunter witnessing a deer lose one of his antlers. The video also showed a ticked-off deer shaking off the remaining one. The dood walked away with both.

Those sheds are hard as steel. We pulled one out of a tractor tire two years ago.

Good story, but man alive, calling his dad in the middle of it? Not smart except to maybe say a location. But there’s no help coming, you better handle it then call.
