>>62916698rip in peace bearwe barely knew ye, but what we did, was that you really liked stealingalso, why did you let it just walk up to you?and did you report the incident?
>>62916713>why did you let it just walk up to you?Between cutting me off and going for my bag was possibly less than a second. Came out of the trees I didn't even see her.
>Hey Boo Boo>Wanna get a Picci-ACK
>>62916698>See single mother>Instantly shoot her
>>62917006Based. Anon out here collecting tolls
>>62916698You a MILS (mother I'd like to shoot) hunter, Anon.
>>62916698>retards feed bears around here>threw my sandwich into the woods
>>62917492Op was the faggot
Won't an injured bear be potentially more dangerous now?
>>62917691Why would it? Won’t it just bleed out or just die of an infection if the wound closes?
>>62917683Agreed.
>>62917856It could potentially survive, but if it can't hunt due to having a broken and near-impossible to heal shoulder (especially when you walk on all 4s) it's going to rely on humans for food, increasing the likelihood of interactions. This is why park rangers throw rocks and bang pans around bears, they should be nowhere near the trails humans use and should fear humans.
>>62916698So you're saying .357 from a snubby works for bear defense? I have a 4" sp101, which I use as a hiking gun up here in Montana, and booms have told me it's not enough if I run into a grizzly. I always dismiss their retarded claims, and I'm not going to buy and carry a boat anchor redhawk with $5/rd hard casts on the off chance I run into a grizzly someday (seen one in 10 years of living here.)
>>62916698Discharge it into your own head next time please.
>be scumbag pos>hike without paying any attention whatsoever to my surroundings>bear almost steals my gas station sandwich>"NO!! MR SHECKLEBERG WILL FINE ME IF HE FINDS OUT THIS HAPPENED!!">noone around to even know the bear got "fed" but cant take chances because big daddy government is always watching>shoot bear even though its with its cubs and no threat whatsoeverfuck you i hope you get fucking mauled the next time you go hikingi hope someone saw what you did and is lying in wait for you on a dead service part of the trailspeople who destroy nature get the ropepeople like you get the ropei realize this is probably rage bait but my point still stands
>>62918099This is sad dude. Human life > wildlife. We protect ourselves and our own species, it's more than just a constitutional right. Bears that approach humans, especially with cubs, aren't "no threat whatsoever." They're a major threat, which is why bears that approach humans on trails often get relocated or put down, along with the cubs, because the cubs will just continue depending on humans for food and increasing interactions.OP's pic seems to at least imply it was a black bear, it's not like they're endangered.
>>62916698>>sandwich tasted like shit and I ended up throwing it into the woods about an hour lateryou are the problem you nigger
>>62918119OP wasnt protecting himselfhe didnt say it but the way he phrased it he clearly put down his bag and was wandering around when a bear ran up to his bagso consumer bs and his awesome $700 cock mongler concepts bag and $2 gas station egg salad sandwich were worth killing (basically even if it didnt die right away) or permanently maiming a living thing with kids its trying to raiseand if it was a black bear then you and i and everyone else know how easy they are to scare offso why did OP shoot?because he is scum?because he is citytrash who is petrified of all bears?because he is a waste of life who should be and will be executed and fed to the bears one day?what is the reasonand you try to justify it that "heh well if he didnt immorally shoot to wound a liviing thing and let it run off brutally wounded with a destroyed shoulder then it would have been put down"you should be put down you piece of human trashanyone who knows anything could tell you shooting because you are worried about A FINE from the bear getting into food is SCUM anyone who knows anything could tell you that if you had to shoot then "shooting to wound" is SCUMOP is SCUM and you are fucking scum for defending himyou should both be face down innawoods as bear foodfuck you
>>62918119Thank you. Yes it was a black bear. It's not Wyoming.>>62918171Wow fuck you dude. I was holding my bag. She came out of the thickly laid out trees, making almost no noise, and lunged for my bag within less than a second. I didn't shoot to wound, I shot as fast as I could reasonably pull my gun out and lay a round on her. I didn't take the time to aim for the head, I just snap shot into her shoulder at point blank. Once a bear has her teeth on you or your shit, it's too late to scare her, she's in feeding mode in late winter with cubs. She got what she deserved. You clearly know nothing.
>>62918236Pardon, late fall, preparing to hibernate soon.
>>62918236none of that is how you phrased your OP postyour acting like its much less of a joke now then before that you crippled and likely killed a mother trying to provide for her cubs>I was holding my bag. She came out of the thickly laid out trees, making almost no noise, and lunged for my bag within less than a secondthats not how you phrased it in your OP postwhy wouldnt you be fearing for your own life then?the reason you gave for WANTING to shoot was that "feeding wildlife is a fineable offense"so were you afraid for your life because a bear ATTACKED YOU on a trail or did a bear go for your bag and try to steal the food and you were worried about a fine?it cant be both>She got what she deservedand so will you
>>62918250>the reason you gave for WANTING to shoot was that "feeding wildlife is a fineable offense"I was trying to bring some humor to the situation. I don't feed wildlife regardless. You sound like a paranoid schizo who can't understand subtle nuance and uses their inability to formulate linguistics as an argument.
>>62918171Nigger shut the fuck up
>>62918263there is nothing funny or humorous about what you did or about a extremely wounded mother with 3 now likely starving cubsand that "joke" proves my point that you are scummaybe i am a paranoid schizo but i dont hurt others for inconveniencing me or for no reason like you and every other normalscum pos>>62918265>racism outside of /b/shiggy
>>62918273>3 now likely starving cubsI never stated how many cubs she has, which proves your projecting your imagination into the situation.
>>62918099>>62918171>>62918250Only a retarded faggot(likely European or a liberal) would somehow read into the situation that OP AHKCTUALLY totally must've set his bag on the ground somewhere else and shot the bear in defense of his tendies. This is obvious because your first instinct when hearing about a SD situation is to find some way to blame the victim and ascribe malice to them without so much as investigating the situation further or asking for clarification.
>>62918171>he didnt say it but the way he phrased it he clearly put down his bagWhat drugs are you taking, anon?
clean shoot.>aggressor was capable of killing him>aggressor had tactical advantage >ItS A MoMmA BeAr!Pfft animals exist for our pleasure when they step outta line you terminate them

>>62918099>retard has never left the concrete jungle he calls home>has never been in woodland more dense than a manicured city park with trees spaced 50 feet apart and no brush"How could an animal just get close to you?!"lmao shut up pussy
>>62916698Lemme take a wild guess. You didn't report:> If a firearm is used in self-defense against a bear, contact park authorities immediately. Federal regulations prohibit the use or discharge of any weapon within a park area. The applicability of a state statute pertaining to self-defense in a wildlife encounter may vary state to state and by park area and will generally take into account any provoking or negligent actions by the person. Nps.govNow do your "Shall Not!" excuse for committing a felony.
>>62918421nogunz tears taste so good
At least report where the cubs are so they get rescued
>>62918432> I don't have to obey gun laws because you're not my real Dad. You're just my Mother's boyfriend!Know the Laws. Follow the Laws.
>>62918448>muh lawdon't care
>>62918421>within a park areaWhat happens if it's not in a park?
>>62918455Then it has to be reported to the state game wardens.
>>629182873 cubs is generally what bears have kill yourself >>62918292i am not european or liberal i live in a fairly rural area and i fairly regularly hike and campi have NEVER heard of a bear randomly running out of the woods and trying to take the backpack off of someones backi have heard plenty of people putting there stuff down to "take in the view" as they lose all sense of there surroundings and stop paying attention at alland the only reason i took the offensive against OP is because he thought it was something to make a "joke" about and he himself gave his reason for the shoot as "being worried about a fine" only later when i called him on that did he backtrack and say it was a joke and change his entire story>>62918323none i dont do drugs how much caffine and adderall and xanax and percription garbage are you on?>>62918359if OP actually got snuck up on and attacked by a mother bear he would be dead and unable to unholster his weapon and reacthave you heard the 6 foot rule for a knife attack by a human?you think OP managed to draw on a bear that was apparently currently sneak attacking him from right ontop of him?>Pfft animals exist for our pleasure when they step outta line you terminate themhumans are the shepherds of the Earth and all life on ityou are rabid scumwhere do you live i will duel you to the death without hesitationi will pay for us both to fly somewhere that it is legal for us to duel and i will kill you with legal impunity and feed you to a bear>>62918396>heh and did yah know you can make the shot with something even LESS ethical?? >>62918420>bear magically teleported ontop of OP>he managed to draw and shoot magicallybullshit story and you are obviously some 5iq redneck hick scum if you believe that>>62918442why would he do that?those cubs ruined his lunch and his hike! they should die
>>62918455Still illegal to discharge a firearm. Still illegal to shoot a bear without a tag, license and such. Law requires a report to State Fish and Wildlife and an investigation. And a recent "totally defensive" killing of a bear in Tahoe on private property ended up being investigated by the local DA. Just don't be a /k/tard and life works out better.
>>62918488oh boy the nogunz Britfag furry is back.
>>62918509>Still illegal to discharge a firearm. Still illegal to shoot a bear without a tag, license and suchNeither of these is true.You're not even American so don't pretend you understand American law you subhuman.
>>62918522> I can shoots my gunz wherever I wanna! Pew pew pew!No. You may not. Know the Law. Follow the Law.
>>62918488>>62918509You're not fooling anyone, faggot
>>62918528Why?>b-because you get in troubleWrong.
>>62918522> I can shoots bears wherever and whenever I want!Also no. Please review the applicable Federal and State laws in your jurisdiction.
>>62918543>Doesn't know anything about the law>whines about it anywayAnon's actions were fully legal, and you are a retard. You can shoot literally as many bears as you want if they come approaching you. America does not follow your gay retarded laws in your shithole country where the only animals walk on two legs.
>>62918528>>62918543>Confused European thinks it's illegal to shoot bears in self defenseHow about you go ahead and link to the many many cases of people being prosecuted for it then.
>>62918519i am not british or noguns or a furry >>62918522it is truedischarging a firearm in most national parks is illegal and anywhere but national forests is a toss up to if its legal or notand national forests can also be closed to shootingand shooting random bears IS illegalsince you hate nature you are probably not whiteand non whites cannot be American go back to where you came from if you want to destroy nature like subhuman scum>>62918529you are replying to two different people fooling who with what? i have said everything i believe openly and directlyi am serious in my offer aswellim sure there is somewhere on the planet that it is legal for us to dueli will pay for us both to fly there and i will kill you and then brag about it with legal impunity>>62918543you dont get it hes a HUMAN that means he can do whatever he wants and destroy every piece of nature so his rabbi can develop the land for profit>>62918548>You can shoot literally as many bears as you want if they come approaching youliterally not true and in many states you have a duty to retreat before shooting bears especially polar bears only nonwhites hate nature so you are clearly not Whitethat means you are not American because only White People can be Americansdie shitskin
>>62918566nobody is reading your incorrect European furry fanfiction.It is fully legal to shoot anything, anywhere, at any time in self defense, anywhere in the United States.
>>62918561>self defensewhich part of leaving a bag full of food on the ground for a bear to steal and then shooting the bear because you are "afraid of being fined" is self defense?if anything id argue its animal baiting which is a hyper illegal form of hunting basically everywhere>>62918567i am not european or a furry and this was not self defenseyou are probably a mexican or black or other type of subhumanWhite People are the shepherds of Earth and all its life
>>62918578>which part of leaving a bag full of food on the ground for a bear to steal and then shooting the bear because you are "afraid of being fined" is self defense?Lmao, it's just sad at this point. cope seethe dilate.
Reported to the CDFW
>>62918567> It is fully legal to shoot anything, anywhere, at any time in self defense, anywhere in the United States -- DAD!!!No. Which is why it was news when Florida, being Florida, expanded their state law on "defensive" bear shooting.There are a stack of laws and ethics around carrying and using firearms. Please familiarize yourself with them.
>>62918578This is self defense. You are European and a furry.>White People are the shepherds of Earth and all its lifeThe shepherd's job is to protect his animals from wild animals, by killing them. So that he can then kill the sheep himself. Not to fuck them while they make anime noises, retard.White people are the mass extinction champs. Europe is full of species we entirely eradicated because they were dangerous.
>>62918587wrong, retard.
>>62918584>cope seethe dilatei could say the same to you>>62918587you cant expect a shitskin piece of human trash to care about the law or anything beyond itselfthe law is just a inconvenience to itwho cares about conservation or the sanctity of life or anything elsehe was going to lose his sandwich! and get a fine!>>62918589there are no "wild" animals besides shitskin scumEuropeans did not burn down the forests since before Mideval times Europeans has DEVELOPED the forests and spearheaded conservationWHITE PEOPLE are the ones who force you third world pieces of trash at gunpoint to stop burning down the rainforests and killing all the animals for "profit""noble savage" there is nothing noble about nonwhitesyou are evil and hate nature and Earth
>>62918605Europeans caused the extinction of multiple species. They did not burn the forests down, they cut them all down. You do not even know what a forest is, come to America and you will find out.
>>62918611i live in America i was born in America i have never been to Europe in my lifeAmerica is a European Nation built on European Valuesis that a problem for you shitskin mexican scum?all humans have caused extinctions but White People are the only ones who have done anything to put a stop to itTHOUSANDS of years ago we invented forest and animal conservation also look into the "extinctions" causes by "European explorers" and you will find that at worst they introduced some shitskin natives to whatever animal and the shitskins hunted them to extinction you are not American because you are not Whiteyour family will be deported in this round and in the next round you will go aswell
>>62918624Europeans caused the extinction of the Aurochs and lion in Europe. Because they are both dangeorus wild animals, they intentionally killed them all. Same goes for wolves and bears in most of Europe.You have no guns, you have no forests, you are a furry, you are a Britfag.
>>62918561> prosecuted!Whether you end up prosecuted will depend on the circumstances. But if you would like an example of how a bear shooting is a much bigger deal than you apparently think:https://www.carsonnow.org/story/06/30/2024/district-attorney-bear-shooting-south-lake-tahoe-did-not-violate-lawEven though the shooting was reported, still resulted in investigations by Fish and Wildlife and the DA. Circumstances led the DA to feel he could not get a jury to convict, so they did not pursue the case. But usually preferred to not get involved in legally questionable activities in the first place.
>>62918640>can't find an exampleLMAO
>>62918624based
>>62918633the Auroch and the European Lion are the only two anyone can ever point to and those happened thousands of years ago so far before recorded history that it was debated for a long time whether or not Europe ever actually had lions since no stories of them being hunted made it to modern dayTO THIS DAY shitskins are burning down the rainforests and killing every animal they can whenever they canTO THIS DAY animal torture is a massive snuff industry online funded almost solely by third world shitskinsthe fact that it turns a profit catering to broke shitskins proves how many of them consume that content and how evil they inherently arei have many guns probably more and nicer then youwhere i live has THE MOST protected forest land in ALL of Americai have no british bloodyou however are a shitskin mexican piece of trash and you have made no attempt to argue against that which proves my pointkeep crying about Europeans because the European decended people are the ONLY Americans and shitskins like you will be sent to africa soon
>>62918662I just posted a picture of my gun in an American forest. You cannot do this since you are a British furry.

>>62918675> that's different!!!Yes. Every event will be different and what results can vary. That is called Reality.
>>62918691good news then, that "pacific northwest junkie hellhole" is one of only two places in the US where mutual combat is entirely legal. So fly on over britboy
>>62918714>mutual combatmutual combat as in fist fighting and most states that allow it technically require a police officer to refereethere is NOWHERE in America where a duel to the death is legalwhat is your contact information i will pay for both of our tickets to fly somewhere its legala quick Google search says parts of Africa and the Middle East are governed by tribal law and are autonomous of the country's surrounding them and it would be legal to do therefunny how you jump to the defense of your junkie shithole though mexican scum
>>62918736>jump to the defenseWhere?Either way it is of course better than your home country of England. There you get the heroin junkies, but they're brown. And you own no guns and have zero forests.
>>62917006based. Should happen more often

>>62919218> I don't have to report the crime I just committed!Not quite. In this case, he'd typically have to report the discharge of a weapon and shooting a bear. To not report those events can be a crime itself. Same reason it's a crime not to stop after an accident.Not necessarily an admission of guilt, but may still be admissible evidence.
