I saw photos from the Grizz's buffet line; it wasn't pretty

forgot the name of the film.. “The Bear Shitter.”
How can you tell a Black bear from a Grizzly??
A Black bear will climb up the tree to get you while a Grizzly will shake it until you fall out.

Treadwell = “Dismembered”
I guess if there is to be a fight between a grizzley and a guy armed with a camera, I’d bet on the grizzley.
grizzley + grizzly.
I wonder if he knows you can buy lenses that let you ‘zoom in’ on the subject from far away...
It had two prospectives of an idiot with a movie camera getting up close and personal with a griz.
The really good one was from the 8mm movie camera he was carrying. It ended with a paw swipe to the side of the camera/photographers head.
If a bear chases you how do you tell if it is a brown bear or grizzly?
First you climb up a tree, if the bear climbs up after you it’s a brown bear if the bear just knocks the tree down its a grizzly.
Remember you do not have to run faster than the bear, just faster than your friend.
I suspect the dimwit also used a flash.
It's not permitted inside the park. My wife and I saw a couple grizzlies on opening day this year (April 20th). One scampered across the grounds at Old Faithful. The second was headed northbound from Black Sand Basin on the west side of the road. If you visit in the Spring, you have to be prepared to see and avoid grizzlies. It really isn't that hard. They don't purposely stalk people...like the mountain lions in my area do.
At least don’t feed the bears good ‘ol Conservative Americans.
I think it may be alright to feed bears liberal eco-freaks, though...
Open for discussion - ;-)
Too salty?
I knew you were going to play that old one. Still got a laugh from it.
Animals, sometimes even domesticated ones, are EXTREMELY dangerous when:
- they are trapped, feeling vulnerable.
- they are feeding.
- they are rearing young.
- they are injured.
Good thinking! My brother and I were invited by one of the locals to go on a walk-in fishing trip many years ago in Oregon. The plan was to visit about a half-dozen lakes and fish each one of them.
When we got out of the car I strapped on my .357 S&W and they both laughed at me, saying “we are going fishing not hunting”.
We hiked into the wilderness and came upon a couple of cub bears, bouncing along like they do. My fellow fishermen both asked if I had the old hand-cannon loaded. We hid behind a couple of trees and eventually mama came into view, sniffing the air and walked by us at a very short distance. She never saw us and we were very glad as we figured she would have charged us.
Have a look at Ruger’s Redhawk...very favorably reviewed.
