During "Handlogger" Jackson's long career, this was the only unprovoked attack by a black bear. During the same period, there was only one unprovoked attack by a grizzly bear. Grizzly bears are far less common, but far more dangerous. Strangely, the statistics seem to balance out, so there are about as many attacks against humans for each species.

I prefer a snozzle stick with a .429” bore diameter.

A bear called Old Groaner was mentioned four times in the link with nothing following.

It truly amazes me just how adept our forefathers were to have survived, thrived and tamed the land we now take for granted.

Sending the average Westerner out into the wilderness today, without modern conveniences and firearms, just produces fat bears.

The rangers at Black Rock Mountain state park in Rabun County, GA used to carry baseball bats to hit the snouts of aggressive black bears. Of course the average size of Georgia black bears in that area is only 125-150 lbs but now and then we get a big one. Anyway one ranger told us it was pretty effective.
