Someone explain to me how a bear can kill 2 people and a dog, how did at least one of them not run away?
The guy in Montana (who lived despite his jaw being ripped off) was armed. The bear came out of nowhere fast. He didn’t have much time.
They needed a bigger dog. Grand Pyrenees, maybe.
Or a large caliber firearm.
Big bore revolvers. Minimum 44 magnum and preferably 454 Casul.
Unfortunately for them, the bear did not................
Dog probably fought the bear and the couple curled up and bear knocked them around?
Bear are faster than people think. They don’t give warnings, especially males.
Not really. "Bear protocol" is at least a .357mag, with 230gr FMJs.
heading to Banff on wednesday.
Sure, but with two people, if they had a fire arm you would think one of them would have been able to survive.
…and the eco-nuts in Whatcom County, WA want to restore grizzlies to Whatcom County.
Yup, some Alaskan guides carry double-barrels because “you only ever get two shots anyway.” I carry what the park rangers carry. Sometimes, though, you’re lunch.
