Sounds like somebody to have on Our side for sure.

Weakened,hurt and hungry bears are still bears.

LOL... preemptive taxidermy!! that might take some of the fun out of it, though...

I was thinking along the lines of panantukan! take him on mano a ma... er, mano a claw.

[glock rocks]

yessir, and that's with a pocketknife... imagine what he could do with his Weatherby :o)

[Tamzee]

Wow, what an amazing gent! 200 lbs is pretty small, but I bet it was ferocious given that it was already hurt and starving...

Can't climb a tree or outrun them... most folks would have been dead after running into that one.

[Travis McGee]

Yeah man, he gets major cojones points! That old bear with the empty stomach was looking for an easy meal, and picked the wrong dude.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Lucky for him it was a sick black bear instead of a hungry grizzly.

[headsonpikes]

Yeah, those black bears are pussies!

(/sarc)

[sheik yerbouty]

He couldn't. He was in Al Qanada.

They couldn't have charged him with anything a 3 and 1/2 inch pocket knife isn't illegal to carry and they can't get you for killing an endangered species if it attacked you first (self defense laws still apply) it was the bear or him and the law can't say anything about that

A silly response to a seven year old post. I think that is a record.

Didn’t even have the decency to reply to the Kanawa kills a bear thread.

You realize you’re riding the Wayback machine here. ;)

I love it when he says, “Tell the other bears what you just saw.”

[kanawa]

Thanks for the ping. I think I missed this the first time around.

[Joe 6-pack]

LOL...in as much as this predated your *encounter* you might not have been paying a whole lot of attention to it.

a 3 1/2-inch knife

"You call that a knife?"
