if only he had it - means he could then shoot himself before being eaten alive?

What's the proper armament to have while hiking in grizzly territory? Bear spray and a Mossy 930, extended tube and rifled barrel loaded with sabot slugs and a buddy with the same gear?

i thought .40 was the bear caliber here...the baby 10mm, no?

 

[MadatMarek]

If he had been carrying a fortay he could have escaped while the bear was busy laughing

 

[Roof gunner]

Birdseed and honey

I was going to say what ddraper said but I was too slow.

couple-o-taps from a big .40 and he would have had a new rug for his man cave.

Wife and I are headed out there at the beginning of June. Our Airbnb is about 5 miles from where this happened, hopefully the bear is still full in a couple months.

I’d take a 9mm over a sharp stick, but for bear (no gay .40 jokes.) I’d prefer 10mm or .357 minimum.

A high powered rifle, .44 Mag and spray. We came up on a young male in Glacier NP. He was excavating a marmot den. I had nothing. My sphincter was extremely tight....

garrote...



... during hibernation.

In MA they would have a 6 million dollar custom built Command center

 

[yogi]

Illegal in MA but a must have in bear country.

I wonder how the bear would react to a flame thrower? Might not like the flame.

Prayers for the victim and his family. What an awful way to go. People forget that you are usually alive when the bear starts eating you.

If it was me, I'd want bear spray (surprisingly effective) and at least a 44 magnum. Ideally you would bring a long gun, but a lot of hikers don't like the weight.

a flare into bear`s mug would probably be more effective than any gun. bears are not rabbits, they do not go into frozen shock when shot. they get angry, very angry. and eat you up.
a bear shot in the heart will still eat you up, and then will die on top of you and your ripped out guts.

Go for it.

 

[paul73]

Go for it.

why? i am not a suicidal hiker type with an explorational desire to be consumed in a bear country, alone.

Someone's going to Burning Man...

I dunno... I'm still thinking (hoping? praying?) that five or six (or twelve? fifteen??) 9mm rounds of Federal HST into Yogi's face/eyeballs/mouth/etc would buy me enough time to get the fuq outta there before Boo-Boo arrives to help him out...And if he's still charging at me? My G17 holds seventeen-plus-one, therefore I'd have enough left to off myself quickly (rather than being ripped to shreds slowly) LOL....

Just sayin'

Always hike with fat people.

Black bear sure, Grizzly you need a properly placed 3" magnum.

Even then, just lie there and hope you don't get eaten.. I have seen a couple of those in MT and they are scary.

You are the one I would hike with.

 

[gerrycaruso]

Good plan. I can't run for shit anymore.
