Subject: BS: That's my girl From: olddude Date: 19 Aug 17 - 11:41 PM My oldest daughter fishing and a big big grizzly bear charged some guys fishing. Their bear spray worked but he circled back around and charged again.. She layed a 44 mag round at his feet and he took off running. Bear ok fishing Guys ok.. Thats my girl taught her well :) |

Subject: RE: BS: That's my girl From: olddude Date: 20 Aug 17 - 12:29 AM Bear spray is very effective but you need both, sometimes they just get mad. I am glad she listened to me. Most times the spray is enough but those big buggers are territorial |

Subject: RE: BS: That's my girl From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Aug 17 - 09:57 AM I've been admiring the Brown (grizzly) bears for weeks and haven't needed spray or a gun. There are several animal cams set up around the world, but this one has been fascinating all summer. You can mute the video and let it run in the background while you work. |

Subject: RE: BS: That's my girl From: keberoxu Date: 20 Aug 17 - 03:20 PM The bear brought knives (claws and teeth) to a gunfight: and knew he'd better leave when the gun fired. Sounds like your family knows their stuff. Is this the veterinarian daughter?? No disrespect intended, but I can see how bears get territorial, particularly when climate change has messed with the food in their territory. There is abundant documentation and publicity now, about the species of pine tree that supplies the pine nuts which keep the bears fed during the lean, cold months of the year. Warming temperatures have made those pine forests warm enough in the winter for a certain species of beetle to winter there as well. Now those beetles are killing off the pine trees, and there goes the bears' lean-month food supply. So now the bears have less to eat, and they may have to travel out of their former bounds to get it.... |
