Never bring a pistol to a bear fight.

There’s been a follow-up story to this. It is now believed that he crashed his ATV in the river, couldn’t restart it, and made up the whole bear story because he was embarrassed by the real story.

Holy Crap! THAT is a story that will live for generations in that man’s family, none of whom will ever step foot in the forest again.

There go the movie rights. It would have been a good one.

Sort of a remake of the old movie Night Of The Grizzly.

Seems like more fake news from the NY Times if they can’t simple story like this right, it’s obvious we can’t trust MSM with anything, especially the stuff they want to slant.

In fact, only 68 people were hospitalized for injuries resulting from a bear attack in Alaska between 2010-2017, and of those hospitalized, ten had died

I wonder how many went into the bush never to be seen or heard from again.

I do believe the ATV story. I’ve never heard of a bear hunting a human over a number of days. That seems pretty far-fetched.

Bear says “Claim! What claim?”


Mistranslated:

Bear: You are threatening my cubs, I kill you.

Uh-huh... That's just part of the story, Coleen...

What about the ones who were KILLED and were not hospitalized, but brought straight to the mortuary?

How many were killed by a bear and were never discovered because they were eaten?

After rehab - it’s off to the local gun shop and -

Depends on the pistol. Everything else is shot placement.

Shot placement is noticeably more difficult when something is actually chewing on you though...

Environweenies always trying to push the narrative with half truths and half statistics.

It’s like, 300 COVID cases! Run for your lives!!!

Yet only one of the 300 got really sick, but pulled through.

They NEVER talk about that, just like they never talk about those KILLED by bears (wolves, pumas, lions, tigers, leopards, etc) outright.
