,,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.

  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

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! ;)
