I was in the same area gold prospecting a few days earlier. Beautiful rugged country. I should have carried a handgun
Thought it said “Stopped With A Bible”.
‘unprovoked attack ‘. The human was occupying the Bear’s natural habitat and feeding ground. That is a provocation. Another laughable ‘self-defense ‘ propaganda article by Ammoland, why am I not surprised?
I am glad that most bears in VA don’t to grow to 300#.
Don’t forget the best bear/knife story of the Century with Freeper Kanawa stabbing a black bear to death.

Not bullets?.................
Four weeks ago, at 5am, we woke up to the noise of yet another bear getting into our hummingbird feeder on the back deck of our Colorado mountain house. This time, the bear was HUGE! He had to have weighed over 700lbs and stood over seven feet tall from toes to snout. They usually are not that big up here. I don’t know what I’d do, other than pee my pants, if I ran into that guy on my way to the chicken coop.
This is 10 miles west and happened Last Week ?!?
