that would be scary as hell
I love my dog but I think I would have quietly climbed a tree and left the bear and the dog to sort it out.
I was watching “Life Below Zero” on the National Geographic channel last night. A woman living alone on the Tundra was talking about being attacked by a bear when she was out hunting.
The bear punctured her skull and disjointed her hip before rolling her down a river embankment. She dragged herself back up the bank, drove her ATV back to her cabin and laid on the floor for 10 days till somebody found her.
She said she’s an old fashioned gal who prefers a lever action but carries an AR style rifle because she wants to put as much lead downrange as possible.
She’s more man than I’ll ever be.
“birdshot, a lightweight ammo that typically would not down a bear.”
Ya reckon?
While duck hunting along the Gila River I typically have to crawl through low paths in willow thickets made by javelina and bear. I swap to buckshot and slugs for just such reasons.
As for the pesky legalities, as long as no one needs medical attention you can always S,S&SU.
“rough grouse?” Never heard of that species. Do they join gangs or something?
