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 Traverses dog wouldnt 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.

Hmmmmm. Sounds suspicious to me. More like the cuddly well known and beloved Carl the grizzly was lured in to the kitchen and murdered in cold blood. Good shootin' in a stressful situation.

The outrage will soon begin - “Remember Carl!” Soon to be followed by fuzzy grizzly stuffed toys.

In Christie’s New Jersey, she’d be arrested.
(Not joking; this happened to an old man attacked by a bear in NJ.)

Grizzly lives matter!!
On the other hand, the kitchen might be a bit tight until you take out the table but sure will be nice not having to tote the meat back to the house!

1. Couldn't the guy just have shot the food out of the bear's paw?
2. What about taseing the bear?

climbed through a window left open because of the heat. Ok, I sleep with my windows open but when I am in bear country I close the blooming things.
Better to be cooked then et.

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.

So what kind of rifle can take out a grizzly with one shot at close range, with such power the grizzly can’t even lunge at you in its death throes?

A really well-placed .22 could do it.
But I’m guessing a .300 Weatherby or its like.
