Exactly why I sleep with a cocked .454 Casull in my hand.

The bear — believed to be a sow — charged the tent as the experienced hunters from Nelson scrambled to sit up. Within seconds it was on top of Scown as Herbert struggled to get a round into his rifle.
Ok. What am I missing? Something about Canadian hunting regulations perhaps? I assume they put the campfire out before retiring for the evening. Then the reporter described "experienced hunters" go to sleep in bear country with empty firearms.

The men hiked nearly five kilometres back to their trucks, where they could see bear tracks that indicated two animals had been following them that day.
“It was totally a predatory attack and not a defensive attack because there was no threat,” Herbert said. “Unfortunately we were on the menu that night.”

Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you. If you are going to go out hunting animals, you can’t complain when they object to being eaten.

Each man should have had a loaded .44 or .454 strapped on in a shoulder holster, I don’t give a damn how uncomfortable it may be. Bear country is bear country.

Over the last 25 years I've spent a hundred nights in the wilderness, and always slept safe and snug with my trusty old Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 under my pillow. And of course, we're loaded for bear with Federal Cast Core.
Who in the heck unloads their weapons when they sleep in the woods?!?!?!? That's plain stupid!

My cousin, as a child, got dragged by his head out of his tent by a bear.
