A family in Colorado video a bear attacking a deer in their backyard. What would you all do? Here's the video clip.

I’d shoot Yogi and Boo Boo too in a heartbeat if they threatened any of my animals or me. I’d use a 45-70 too and wouldn’t mess around.

Although I would use my suppressed .308 and shoot, shovel, and shut up.

I’d cue up “the circle of life” for the whiners.

The bear killing the deer does not bother me, it is the metro-sexual pu$$y filming it and lamenting about it. Woos.

Let the bear kill the deer then kill the bear.

Same here. That picture looks to me like a typical backyard in standard-issue suburbia, not some remote wilderness area up in the mountains. That means there are many other homes and families around, and letting wild bears freely run around that kind of neighborhood is stupid and dangerous.

Only after he killed the deer. Then I’d skin and dress them both. Fill up the freezer pretty good.

Let’s sing. I know you know the song:

Bare Necessities

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature’s recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn’t be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin’ in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They’ll come to you!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That’s why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don’t pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don’t need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They’ll come to you!

So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
‘Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You’re working too hard

And don’t spend your time lookin’ around
For something you want that can’t be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin’ about it
I’ll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you

Another reason why homeowners should be allowed to kill rats with antlers on their property.

It’s Colorado. Are you sure the bear is trying to kill the deer and then eat it? Or is the bear just getting in on all the perversions Colorado seems to be celebrating?

“He’s a bear, he has a right to kill deer “

Animals do not—can not—have rights. The very notion is logical, philosophical, and theological gibberish.

Any law predicated on that notion is without moral force.

Slugs in a shot 12-guage will end a bear so fast it is not funny.

“I would have got my 12 gauge and shot the bear until dead. “

Would you be using slugs, buckshot, or one of those new fancy-pants defense loads?

Ever hear that song, “A Country Boy Will Survive”?

Well, how is that? How DOES a country boy survive?

A country boy would know that certain animals equal food, and both animals are tasty food. Hides can be made into clothing. Scraps and bones can be fed to working dogs and hogs, chickens and other omnivores. And of course, he wouldn’t want an ole bear feeling dandy and sure of hisself around the homestead.

A country boy doesn’t shoot, shovel and shutup, but rather shoots, processes, and shuts up.

Obviously, it is against the law to kill a bear or deer out of season, so I could never imagine harming either one. But if a guest stopped by, they might notice the bear throw rug by the stove looked rather new, and the freezer packed full of venison, though I didn’t do bow season this year.

A bear’s gotta do what a bear’s gotta do.

Without fresh meat, a bear couldn’t poop in the woods and then what would we do for catch phrases.
