All I know was, I was rooting for the bear in this movie, so it could finally come to an end (much to my wife's chagrin).

I thought bears were herbivors.

Maybe, but I'm not gonna carry any herb on a hiking trip to find out.

I can't believe you posted that picture. That is worse than anything I've ever seen. Even worse then stuff out of Iraq.... Holy Sh*T!!!! Your warning is hardly sufficient.

In light of the rising frequency of human conflicts with bears in the field, the Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions and be observant.

They advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on their clothing, so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them. They also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear.

It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity.

Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear dung. Black bear dung is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear dung has little bells in it and smells like pepper spray.

I spent 9 days in AK last summer, stayed just outside Soldotna where this guy got mauled. Saw several brown bears on one of my fishing trips. What a great place. My guides all carried shotties with buckshot followed by slugs. I did in fact take my 454 Casull. AK is legal for carry, even for visitors.

A few years ago, a friend sent me a picture of someone gutting a Great White with a man inside. Talk about gross...

It's a great site, lots of cool ideas for guns. Wish I had the $$ for the Co-pilot in .457 WW Mag.

Dude, I am a pretty hearty person and I am still freaking out about that pic. You did warn, but you probably should have issued a triple warning or something. That pic is just horrifying.

"Your warning is hardly sufficient."


What part of "WARNING : GRUESOME PHOTO" don't you understand?

Yeah, but I figured it was semi-gruesome. I was not at all prepared for how horrifying and nasty that was. Seriously... only the most hardcore freepers should look at it.
