More trouble for her from the a$$hole game wardens who are trying to get more wolves and bears in places they shouldn't be, but maybe a lot less trouble for the guy who was hurt.

WTF?

Sad, isn’t it, that bears and wolves are protected, while the people are not. (same thing goes for timber....we used to have a sawmill in Wyo.)
The “trouble” she meant was probably with the state Fish and Game Dept. I’m sure these animals are protected up one side and down the other, and shooting one would probably land her employee and her in jail. State and Federal wildlife management systems are completely nutz when it comes to protecting predators...they are encouraging a revival of marauding, and the animals have lost their fear of humans.
I bet the dead dogs and sheep would have other thoughts on this as well.
Maybe the O can have a beer sumit with the grizzlies to reason with them to stay away
Yes, that’s it but people do have the right of self defense, the problem lies with having to prove self defense.
“The “trouble” she meant was probably with the state Fish and Game Dept.”
Shot a grizzly, especially a COLLARED sow with a cub...
there aren’t enough lawyers in Christendom (or on the planet)
to save somebody from the wrath of the US guvmint and their bosses
in the environmental-extremist groups.
Even if it was transparently clear that the shooting was an absolutely
necessary act to save a poor shepard.
LMAO
A Saiga 12 with a drum and 3” slugs...Maybe some breach loads, expensive yes, but what is your life worth?
Shoot, shovel and shut up.
LOL! I’ll buy the beer.
That was my thought too. I swear this is insane. I visit Spain and the government there stopped sheep ranchers (wool and meat are big products in Spain, where lamb is a popular meat) from shooting wolves. End result? Wolves are now coming down from the Pyrennes, the mountains in Northern Spain. They are suspected in a few deaths of elderly rural people who were out walking in the fields by themselves and were found torn apart and eaten, but the government always blames it on "wild dogs." But there are no packs of wild dogs there and everybody knows it's the protected wolves that did it.
Exactly. No matter what people do, the government will say there is something they could have done other than killing the grizzly. I think we’re living in a completely psychotic upside down world.
So long as the bullet holes indicate the predator is facing the intended snack, things are different than if the predator was shot facing in another direction.
If the bullet holes in the predator are congruent with the snack’s statement that “I feared for my life”, then regardless of the zealotry of the AgencyPersons, any criminal case filed would have to be dismissed.
The ranchers need to find a law firm willing and able to defend such cases. Only then may the predatory beast’s intended snack defend their life as necessary without the fear of criminal law suits by one of the jack booted Scumbos or Scumbalinas in the agencies.
Any employee sending employees into a fight with a grizzly bear with less than an appropriate bear gun is risking a whopper of a law suit.
Pepper spray is a vastly inferior predator repellent than is gunpowder.
Should any ranchers be interested in setting up such a legal defense team, please FR mail me.
Sorry, but the drum won’t handle 3” shells, unless you are referring to the metal drum.
That has a number of problems, according to the forum members.
The plastic drum is for 23/4” shells, and actually only handles 2.40 length shells. That means that even some 23/4 shells won’t fir. Some Wolf shells come to mind.
IMHO, the drum is best for nasty crowd scenes, riots in the Big Sh*tty, or a pack of wolves closing in.
PS Beware of Winchester Universal shells for practice. Supposedly, they wont reliable cycle the Saiga 12.
PPS Reliable 8, 10, and 12 shot mags are available for the Saiga 12. Do not use 3” max loads in the 12 shot mag, due to inertia. Cut it to 8 or 10 rounds.
Dixie makes a superb range of 12 gauge shells, some of which equal or exceed the old Paradox shells.
BTTT!
