Never provoke a polar bear.Being in the presence of a bear can be provocation enough, those critters are unpredictable and highly dangerous. Never go around them without bear medicine.

I think they're quite territorial, too.
True story: My parents, about 20 years ago, took a trip through northern Canada and landed, in a small plane, on ice somewhere. The pilot spotted a polar bear about a mile distant while they were looking around, and immediately told my parents to get back in the plane, they were taking off ASAP. They told me that the bear almost got the plane! It ran up to it and chased it as it was taking off and tried to grab it, just as they got off the ground...

bear medicine.Would an ak w/ a 80 rnd drum of soft points do it? (I was tempted to type a 30 rnd banana mag but Dosa's a cautious cat) Would the soft points expand too quick in the fat?
