After a harrowing encounter with a grizzly bear that broke into their home, one woman is glad her husband is a skilled hunter.
Early Sunday morning, Niki Traverse’s dog wouldn’t stop barking like mad, prompting her to wake up and check to see what was wrong. The Traverses live in British Columbia, Canada, in a mountain region, CBC reports. As soon as she entered into the kitchen, she saw a male grizzly bear feasting on cat and dog food in a cupboard after it had climbed through a window left open because of the heat.
Niki immediately ran back to the bedroom and woke up her husband Mark, who then brought out his hunting rifle.
“I went to the kitchen, turned the light on and where the bear was, he came at me and I took a shot,” Mark told CBC.

“Conservation officers soon arrived”. Knock, knock, we’re from the government and here to help. Ok, 3 shots in the middle of the night and a neighbor is going to call the cops but it wasn’t the cops so the homeowners reported themselves to the authorities. They could very well both be in jail today for that. Whatever happened to Shoot, Freezer and Shut up? Bet all that bear meat was wasted by the “Conservation” officers.
The bear was wearing your pajamas?

I wouldn’t have turned on the light. I’d have used a flashlight. It’d make me feel much better to NOT have an adult male grizzly charging at me.
.45-70
Response: What was the grizzly bear doing in you PJ’s?
#bearlivesmatter?
I don't think such a rifle exists.
I assume a lot has to do with the disposition of the bear. If he's angry and/or scared you'd want at least 50ft. 100ft would be better.
Why did they have to kill Carl? Couldn’t the “conservation” cops just have cuffed him and released him back in to the wild after a stern lecture? Whatever shall we do. :>}
“An individual needing protection from wild animals in remote areas is one of only four reasons an individual can possess a concealed handgun in British Columbia.”
Uh...I have a valid B.C. fishing license. That means I am “An individual needing protection from wild animals in remote areas....”
Now...gimmee my damn CCW!
That is one sentence where you MUST be familiar with the difference in usage between 'then' and 'than'.
I have nothing to say.
<I can’t believe I’m the first to say “I once shot a grizzly bear in my pajamas”.
<People are slipping around here these days.
<<The bear was wearing your pajamas?
Maybe he shot a bare bear or the bear bare.
I was just curious because my name is Carl and I have never heard of Carl the Grizzly Bear. lol
Pirhana trout cross breed?
Certainly there was enough time to send the grizzly a sternly worded letter to cease and desist.
Stealing kibble is not a death sentence!
The poor critter was getting his life together as an aspiring rap artist. No...wait...what thread am I on now?
If I’m fishin’ in B.C., I’m in Griz habitat, competing with him for dinner.
LOL! WHAT? He’s the much beloved grizzy in the northern reaches of Canada. Guess he needs more marketing. Oops. Well maybe not so much now. Of course his family could use the money from the sale of fuzzy “Carl Keep Sake” bears.
