Grumpy Old Man Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I was told to always take a partner with you, just make sure he is slower than you.Then, all you have to do is outrun him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seldom Seen #16162 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 True...very true...now try to shoot it with a handgun,rifle or slug gun.Give me 6 shot anyday.Either that or bend over and kiss your @$$ goodbye.Cause you sure as hell ain't gonna outrun it. Either way you are going to have to have a mighty steady nerve to place your shot(s) where they count knowing that in a few seconds you are going to be bear Hors d'oeuvre.

Sierra Jack Cassidy, SASS 14336Life Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 My late uncle had a fish hatchery in Washington State and they got visits by Griz from time to time. He even had his scalp moved around a bit once when a griz surprised him. He carried a sawed off 870 with an extended magazine and as many slugs as he could fit in... he used it more than once too. Just sayin'... Cassidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra Jack Cassidy, SASS 14336Life Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Where in Washington State was that? He always said he wasn't far from Canada, that there were lots of hatcheries in the area, and not much for highways and roads. I don't know if there are any records but his name was Collin Skane. He's been dead at least 15 years though. Cassidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Was wondering, because generally we think no Grizz in Washington, but there's been a recent confirmed sighting in the North Cascades Nat'l Park, and I know they get down below the border over in the NE part of the state. So it doesn't surprize me at all if his hatchery was near the border. Very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I think that is a fantastic idea...They can start in Golden Gate Park or around Tahoe I'm thinking Sacramento. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the guy hadn't shot, the bear would have killed the one anyway. Or maybe call it a mercy killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
