>gun? heh, I just carry bear spray, it's actually more effecti-
pocket phosgene
>>2849652he should be the one who attacks
>>2849658now consider that grizzlies normally silently watch you approach then charge completely unexpectedly
>>2849660is that real?i thought bears normally keep to themselves, but can attack if there's young, or if they get spooked/nervousi mean, i didn't think they went out of their way to stalk/attack peoplei'm a retard, sorry for poor writing
>>2849665it's a battle for survival anon, kill or be killed
>>2849672i see...
>>2849660cool but I live in europe and we already solved bear problem, ngl we solved all wild animals here
There is no weapon you can pull out and use in time to stop the bear as it is on that course thing. The fastest person may be able to get shots on it and the luckiest may even be able to kill it eventually. But it will still land on and maul you before it dies.
>>2849652Ah yes, because pulling a gun out of a proper holster and aiming is so much easier!If you get within 20 feet of a bear to begin with you are a moron and have no situational awareness.
>>2849683You didn't solve it. You turned your entire continent into a shithole. That's cringe bruv.
>>2849652How exactly is the gun supposed to be faster? That's the point of the webm right?I practice the shirt lift draw on the range at least 4 times a year. And bro did pretty good.
>>2849709i figured the point was more "if there's a big 600lb (or whatever) bear charging toward you, spraying it with anything won't help much, and a gun probably won't either"
but it seems unlikely to have a bear CHARGING toward you in the first place
>>2849711based retard
>>2849665Grizzlies will hunt people if they're hungry. That hunger ramps up just before and just after hibernation. The less familiar a bear is with humans, the more likely it is to hunt them.Polar bears will hunt humans at any time of year.Black bears generally leave us alone, though they can cause problems if they learn that there's good eatin' in going through people's trash.
>>2849713thank you(i want to kill myself all the time, i think i had a stroke last year, i'm 22 years old)
>>2849715ah, tyvmthat's fuckin scary, i knew grizzlies were more aggressive than black bears, but i didn't know they sometimes hunt people
>>2849726Just do it bro.
>>2849728maybe soon
2 more weeks
>>2849683>ngl we solved all wild animals hereWhat about the refugees?
>>2849728See a psychologist.
>>2849652>just park your child in the stroller right next to the line of fire down the rangeThey don't try this with real spray, do they?
>>2849726I didn't ask.
>>2849751>insist on placing the little boy face-first next to the fast moving object and spray>little boy is too young to even give a damn>meekly roll him away slightly afterwards "just in case" aftewardsFucking retardation of modern women, and never a man in sight to laugh them into behaving appropriately, why?
>>2849751>>2849780>pearl clutching and virtue signaling over some random shitty toddler in a webmThose biological clocks must be going absolutely nuts. Get a grip, you sad sacks.
>>2849665>is that real?No. Griz want nothing to do with you. The vast majority of dangerous encounters are people suprising them or getting to close to their food or cubs. They are not very aggressive but they are very defensive. >Grizzlies will hunt people if they're hungryits extremely rare that a griz will attack and consume a human.
>>2849784i see....
>>2849652Good thing a gun will work better right?
>>2849786what's the lightest anti-material rifle for minimalist hikers in bear country?
>>2849792It'd have to be AI controlled to adequately deal with a bear
>>2849652I would love one of those machines for rifle training
>>2849795eheheh
if a bear is charging you at max speed with zero obstacles in between and you don't have your bear spray or gun already out you already fucked up>>2849665no
>>2849711>Be me>Hunting birds in the uplands outside Idaho Falls>Big thicket looks very birdy>Dog runs up to it>Hope it ain’t a porcupine>Adolescent grizz about the size of that black bear comes busting out chasing the dog off>Shoot into the air because steel birdshot ain’t doing shit and I’m 60 yards behindOPs webm is actually terrifyingly accurate. Bear fucked off back to the thicket and we dipped the fuck out but yeah could have been bad.
>>2849697Jerry Miculek could empty a revolver into it and reload.
>>2849873damn...i guess the dog might've saved you, in a way
dog and the gun
>>2849652Surely a device like a clowns flower would work better? It would be worn facing forwards and you could keep the squeezy bit attached to your wrist for a quick squirt.
>>2849880I wouldn’t have been messing around in that thicket if I hadn’t had the dog but I was not anywhere where bears should be either. I’m guessing it’s mom drove him off and it was out there avoiding the big boys. If you look into the stats there are a shit ton of bear encounters involving dogs. I bring slugs with me now whenever I hunt east of the Snake River.
>>2849880>>2849873No, the dog is what brought it on. This is a common scenario of bear attacks. Person lets dog offleash, they charge into brush and startle a bear, bear reacts and attacks dog, person gets involved either trying to save dog or because the dog brought the bear back to them, bear attacks person.
>>2849970still, assuming there's a bear out there & the person is unaware of it, wouldn't it be a better outcome for the dog to startle it than the person?or is a lone person more likely to notice it beforehand?if it's a common scenario, i wonder what would have happened in each case if the person didn't have a dog, that's all>>2849927i see
>>2849973if the person didn't have a dog the bear would have been scared by the human and left they likely would have never interacted.
>>2849926I’ve been wondering about some kind of pepper filled claymore you can strap to your chest like a suicide vest and deploy with a string pull like a reserve parachute. We had training IEDs with bulbs of them that made a little cloud of flour. Make it spicy and deploy on major impacts and that could do a decent job even if you get caught by surprise. No way you don’t get smoked too but it beats getting mauled to death.>>2849970This is accurate. We do have to share the landscape but I intentionally don’t hunt with a dog in the mountains for this reason. The issue usually arises when bears aren’t where bears are supposed to be. If some dipshit takes his doodle hiking off leash around Bear Lake…hey they should have known better.>>2849973In the scenario of human and dog walking down trail yes the dog getting eaten is better than a human but dogs and bears are way more likely to fuck with each other than bears and humans. Double edged sword.
>>2849982>>2849983i see, ty
>>2849652I used to live in the woods with a bunch of black bears. Basically there's an old Indian trick where you just pretend you're mistaking them for family members so they don't get self conscious, like if you wander into a group of them just say "oh sorry didn't see you there grandpa" and then just walk away.Best experience I ever had with them was one morning I woke up to a couple young ones playing tag and splashing around in the water on the other side of a small beaver pond I was camping next to. Worst experience was turning a corner on a trail and running right into a mom and her two cubs. They're basically big puppy dogs though. Grizzlies will fuck you up on the other hand.
>>2849780Tbf he probably told her she needed to move but she stood there still, defying his mansplaining
>>2849926>>2849983Believe it or not, but this is the ideal solution for bear defense.Literally peak performance
>>2849879But the bear would still maul him before it died
>>2850332is that a fuckin outward facing claymore on his forehead?
