70 lbs bear-—
A large German Shepherd.
.
I hate bears.
There’s a sow with 3 brats lurking around my place right now and every time I come home to my dark dirt lane, I worry I’ll get out of the car and accidentally end up between her and her spawn.
70lbs of bear muscle beat 150lbs of human muscle just about every time. Shepard will mess you up really good too. Don't even think about messing with a cute little chimp.
My GS, summer weight hangs around 100 lbs, winter weight 110 lbs. If I get him up on his hind legs, he looks me straight in the eyes, I'm 6'3". Still, a 70 lb bear is nothing to mess with.
My Great Pyrenees dog weighs in at 126lbs.
If that man had just had a .9mm handgun he could have killed that bear.
In GA the average size of a black bear is only 125 lbs so it doesn’t take that much firepower to put one down. We carry a .9mm in the woods. That’s not to say there isn’t a 300 pounder running around because there are but hopefully we don’t run into it.
If you kill a bear in GA outside of licensed hunting season its like the end of the world. So we are now lousy with them.
