2. I wonder if the bear just wanted to have Indian cuisine for a change.

3. When hunting in bear country my friend the guide always carried a six shot .44 magnum. 5 shots for the bear, the six for him if the previous 5 didn’t do the job. 30 years later he still has the same one, only had to use it once.

4. Gee decades ago while we watched the black bears (et al) come down to drink from the lake - I was told that black bears are not aggressive towards humans - unless you have food/feed them.

   Get it - bad human action (whether it was you or a previous dumb human) - gets bad wild animal interaction.

   Meanwhile our schools are too busy teaching that racist American’s hate the first black President because he is black, sex ed and that being American is offensive to most people - instead of the things that kids need to be productive, responsible and to live/survive.

5. Damn that made me laugh Steamboat! In Canada we used to carry a fire extinguisher size pepper spray can. They do get a fair few Grizzly attacks so its a sensible precaution. A shotgun would be even better. Seems unusual to get a black bear killing someone but they are wild animals and should be treated with respect especially if as Wardmama says dimwits start feeding them.

6. Guess this guy is the punchline to the old joke… “I don’t have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun YOU”

8. All you really need is a .22.  If the bear comes a running pop the idiot next to you in the knee and you are good to go.
