Never go out in the back country without a gun.

He said he couldn't remember how big the bear was. "How can you tell, when the SOB is trying to give you dental work?" he said.

Never go out in the back country without a gun. Better be a big gun, and semi-auto too. Dont wanna piss the bear off...JFK

Lucky man, especially if he wasn't armed.
Bear vs man...bear always wins the fight.

Never go out in the back country without a gun.Good advice but I don't think it would have helped this guy. Sounds like the bear was too quickly on him.
Not that he seems to mind all that much, anyway. Good man. Real good man.

I got the same impression from the article.

If you go into the bush without a .44 mag, you're asking for trouble!

I saw this Disney movie a long time ago and a bear was fighting with an African tiger. The tiger got his licks in but every once in a while the bear would smack that tiger with a paw and it would go head over heals about twenty feet in the air.

Presa Canario? Karelian Bear Dogs don't back-down. They give you time to drop the hammer!

Yes, Presa. Ain't he beautiful? Wish he were mine. :-(
Several like him, or those Karelian Bear Dogs you mentioned, and you'd have time to get off a shot.

Don't remember it offhand.
I saw two black bears up north when I was deer hunting a couple of years back. Incredible site.
And I had my gun ready just in case.

If someone wants to use a handgun on a grizzly they would be advised to first file the sights all the way down. That way it won't hurt so bad when the bear shoves it up their hind end.
To: Manic_Episode
A .454 Casull is more than enough, I think. Still, I'd rather have a rifle and some dogs with me for a big griz.
