When a polar beart is attempting to enter your tent, with 20 mph winds outside, it is not the time to be attempting to use bear spray.

Screw bear spray. Its not reliable. A .44 magnum is very reliable. If you hit something with it, that something is going to stop attacking you.

All polar bear deaths are caused by global warming. But this one is especially convenient because they can also blame gun violence at the same time.

Thank you! For your continued work on this project.

Polar bears are the only predator on Earth that looks at humans and instantly decides there be prey - other than other humans.

What’s a polar bear doing with a .44 magnum? I told you we should repeal the right to arm bears.

I wonder if we need sensible polar bear control laws.

Don’t spray bear spray into the wind! Of course you can shoot into the wind.

Maybe if humans would just stay the F out of a place like that a remote island in the arctic where Polar Bears live, then the need to ‘defend yourselves’ could be avoided?

If humans figure out time travel, I’m sure we will travel back to the Cretacous period just so we can ‘defend ourselves’ with an automatic shotgun, and write an article for ammoland about how we were in mortal peril and it was IMPOSSIBLE to avoid the dangerous situation we were in.

“One of the Fish and Wildlife personnel was sleeping in a tent. They had a .44 magnum.”

One person is not “they”.

The Soros’ elected DAs would take the side of the bear, and prosecute the shooter.

Once upon a time my dad was fishing with friends on Kodiak Island. While he & others were getting breakfast ready one guy went to the out house. In short order they heard quite the commotion out there. Looking out a window they saw a full grown Kodiak bear standing on it's hind legs leaning against the out house, rocking it back & forth with the guy inside. Seconds later the door cracked open, an arm & hand appeared with .357 mag & proceeded to unload several rounds in the air. The bear decided to look for someone else to terrorize & quickly left the area.

No word on whether or not the out house filled to overflowing rendering it unusable.

How do YOU determine where a person can and cannot go. We are the stewards of this planet. Sometimes we have to crop and harvest

.44 magnum...
When it absolutely, positively has to be put down, right now...

There is not apex predator for polar bears, until man appeared
Mess with us, and they die.
That’s why there are not polar bears in lots of populated places.
Take a look at a map, there is huge amounts of territory people don’t live in up north. Better yet, take a tour by plane.

“One person is not “they”.”

1. You don’t know his pronouns! :-)
2. Where was the second guy sleeping? Outside in the wind?

I think bear spray would be considered as “seasoning” by the bear.
May as well just spray it on ones self…
