I'd a died of a heart attack!!

I don't have to outrun the bear, just have to outrun YOU. ;D

had a grandma that hunted bears in idaho yrs ago. once i asked her if she wasnt scared of bears.
her reply was just that-"no, i always could outrun yr grandpa"

Boy that coulda ended bad.
The wife and I were playing tag w/ the kids the other day and ran me down three different times in a flat out chase through the mud. :o :-[ ;D dpg

,,and then there's the old joke about the bear guide carrying a .22 pistol for protection, Hunter: " is that big enough to stop a bear?" Guide: " Oh no, If we have to run I'm going to shoot you in the foot."

My plan is to soil my self so badly that no self-respecting bear will want to bite me. I'm just sayin'.

That's pretty close indeed. The first time I saw a bear out in the woods I was sitting on the ground and it walked within five yards from me. It was bigger than the one I got a month later. I had my bow in my lap and an arrow nocked, but I was so in awe that I didn't move. It was so close I could see the grains of sand on its claws.
I was much more foolish then.

He could have that fishing hole. You know the old saying I only have to out run the person with me. In that case the old lady would die.

What I think is insane is the fact that they actually got the whole thing on camera. If that was me the only way anybody would have been able to see it would be if the camera just happened to land perfect so as to continue recording the charge after I dropped it to run. :o That lady at the end looked like she was enjoying it.

I was once in a tense situation and someone made the comment, "I'm not afraid." Another voice piped up and said, "If you ain't afraid, you don't know what's going on!" Something tells me that the woman that seemed to be enjoying the encounter had no idea what was really going on. There is nothing gentle about a griz from their halitosis to their hemorrhoids.

That is insane!!! That crazy woman at the end was smiling like it was the neighbors dog running to play fetch or something. And did ya'll read that article?? That bear came within 3 feet of them!! uhhh no! This ol boy would have out ran all women and children, no honor in that situation. Get my butt back on the bus and lets call it a day!

Bear charges are kinda scary,only thing that makes them bear-able is big guns. ' Frank

Who says older folks don't do drugs! She had no clue what could have happened! Me, I would need not just a change of underwear, but another pair, as I would have chewed a hole the pair I had on! :o

NO Problem. Notice how fat that bear was. It wasn't hungry at all! Just showing off. Gulp! :P

That would explain all the pepper scented piles of Bear poop with the little bells in it. ::) :P ;D

I remember the first can of bear pepper spray I ever saw. It had directions that said to wait until the bear was within 30 feet before activating the spray. Considering how fast a griz can cover 30 ft, the last thing the ol' bear thinks before he kills you is "OOOH! Cajun!"

At least you'll die with the satisfaction of knowing you'll get your revenge tomorrow when he craps you out and gets a bad case of the "ring of fire".

That could be the very reason he was in such a bad mood, to begin with! ;) :P
My neighbor, in Montana, told me I needed to get some Bear spray. I told him I didn't believe in it. He said, "No it works, we had a bear on our front porch, and it wouldn't leave, and it started to come towards me, and I sprayed it, and it turned and ran off." I said, nope, I have something that works better. Bang! Now I have a Bear skin rug, bear steaks, and bear fat, to make soap, and cook with! ;)
