He's a fool and proves it over and over again. He maintains the innocent people mistakingly pulled over here, that pleaded with the police to be allowed to close the car doors are the ones responsible for their dog getting shot.

I get the same instantaneous panic when I’m charged by the IRS. Wish I could end it the same way.

Where did you get your crystal ball fixed?

Size disparity would mean any movement toward me constitute a charge.

In Alaska it is common knowledge that one should file off the front sight of whatever handgun one is carrying for bear protection.

Is that because the bear will be so close that you won’t need sights?

No. It is so that when the bear takes away said handgun and shoves it up your arse it won’t tear anything...

Seriously though, that feller is one lucky man. I was charged twice when I lived up there and if anything will get your adrenalin flowing, that will do it.

Cloud of confusion in that vid. I never heard a shot or saw a flash.

That said. The cops look really bad here.

Grouse are almost as big as chickens! No bloodshot from an arrow... Real tasty! I also try to stick snowshoe hare....

One of these days I will stick an actual bull if I can keep steady! Its a rush and a half! Been 20 yards away in a storm, he was there to fight, lightning flashed and I blinked and he was gone! It is fresh in my brain, as I relive it now and again....

20 Yds is real close for a full sized bull elk.

I’d want more than a arrow

I now live in Idaho and I saw that story about the foolish woman in Colorado.

I would never want a bear to think I was its friend.

Bears are omnivores. They realize that stupid people (aka Timothy Treadwell and the lady in CO) are especially tasty.

That why he probably shot it out of his truck window.

You keep repeating this because it is what you would do. Not everybody, thank God, is like you.

And dont get me started on Wolves. There is a reason they have been hunted to extinction.

They arent puppies

From a standing start, a grizzle bear can get up to 25 MPH in 6 seconds and can cover over 109 yards in 6 seconds!

Be careful when plagerizing from unknown sources on the internet!

To cover 109 yards from a stop in 6 seconds while only reaching 25 mph top speed is impossible. Besides, it conflicts with the previous sentence from your source.
