A story about a young man named Chase Dellwo from Montana was out elk hunting, he comes across a bear. It's unknown if the bear was asleep, irregardless the bear was pissed and attacked the man.
You can read the rest of the story here, along with other more conventional bear survival tactics.
‘irregardless’ is not a word; ‘ irrespective’ is ....
Bears are usually more afraid of humans than vice-versa. However, a mother bear with cubs can be extremely dangerous.
If you are with someone both of you can run. You don’t have to outrun the bear, only your companion. Just kidding.
You cut a hole in the ice and put peas around it. When the bear comes to take a pea, you kick him in the ice hole. /sorry
Reminds me of a terrible but funny joke I heard...
This guy goes out hunting, and in the deep woods he comes upon a sleeping bear cub. He raises his rifle to shoot, when Papa Bear crashes out of the woods behind him, slaps the rifle away, and mauls the hunter. Then, just to teach him a lesson, the bear rapes the hunter.
The hunter spends a month in the hospital, but vows not to let this ned his love of hunting. So, a year later, the huntsman is in the same woods, sneaking up on the bear’s den, when once again the Papa bear crashes out of the woods behind him, slaps away the rifle, and rapes the huntsman again.
After another hospital stay, the huntsman swears the bear will not get the best of him again, and once again he heads into the woods. Once again, the Papa Bear smashes out of the woods, and slaps the rifle aside. Then, as the bear prepares to once again mount the hunter, he pauses and looks down at the hapless man and speaks.
“So, tell me truth, you really are not in this for the hunting, are you?”
Hat Tip “AzSteven” from the Leo story yesterday and because it’s funny as hell...
The bottom line is that irregardless is indeed a word, albeit a clunky one. That said, to avoid the wrath of your grammar-loving friends, it’s safest to avoid using irregardless altogether.
grammar-loving friends = Grammar Police ;^ )
Hmmm that dude looks like Leo Decrapio. Yesterday I went into Drudge only to read a sick headline about Leo and the Bear.
As Hugh Glass found out back in 1823.
I don’t think “irregardless” is a word.
Didn’t kanawa fight off a bear?
Yes he did.
This is valid information and it is good of you to share.
I also would like to share some advice to people who will be traveling in bear country.
The best advice is to wear little bells on parts of your clothing that will ring whenever you are moving. It is also good practice to carry a can of strong pepper spray.
It is important to know what type of bear might be in your surroundings. The best way to determine the type of bear you may encounter is by examining the bear's scat, or droppings.
Black bear scat will usually consist of fur, berries, and fish bones. Brown bear scat will usually smell like pepper spray and contain little bells.
Didn’t see that coming in your post #14.
Wow!...............
Our hosts at a bed and breakfast in the Yukon told us to walk away from the bear and drop articles of clothing. Supposedly each dropped item will draw the attention of the bear and give you a little more time to escape.
What about ‘disirregardless?’
