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.
“Thoman said giving her sheepherders guns to shoot marauding predators isn’t a solution – “or we just have more trouble.””
An S&W .44 Magnum Mountain Gun could have stopped this from happening.
The eco’s who have taken over many DOWs arrest and fine ranchers who shoot bears that kill and eat their livestock.
Part of their plan.
WTF?

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.
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.
Any employer who would rather let her employees DIE than tangle with a bunch of Fish & Wildlife bureaucrats deserves to go broke.
She should have issued some of these:
Winchester Model 71 for the .348 cartridge. Packs a severe punch but has quite controllable recoil, and with the lever action you can roll the lead out there in a hurry. I think it's still the most powerful production lever action, the cartridge is based on an old black powder round and you can see that the base is massive. It takes over 50 gr of 4320 or 4064 to fill that huge case up (the top round is a .30-30 for comparison).
It was my mother's bear gun when she and dad were planning a trip to Alaska. Dad was going to get a .375 H&H, but they turned up pregnant with me instead . . . . every so often dad gives me a wistful look and asks, "Couldn't you have waited til I got the .375?"
