Bear attack

[j_06]

Yes because had the hunter been using a 300 win mag, a 375 H&H or a .30-06 and hit that bear in a vital organ at ten yards, it would have just shook it off........

Hey, just let the broken record play. 416 or bust lol. Just wait, recycled x1000 pics in 3...2...1....

Learned his lesson???

He was bowhunting, and handled the sitiation before/during/after the encounter just about as you should.

You need to stick with rifle hunting from elevated box- blinds.

Nearly every comment on the 5 or 6 threads of this really lead me to believe CGN is full of potentially ####ty/ knock kneed bowhunters.

As I embark on my first week of bow hunting for black bear tomorrow I appreciate the wisdom provided by hoytcanon and others in this thread.

I'd love to hear your "girly death scream" if you were in his boots...

Someone posted this video on a us military FB page. Few comments summed up "don't go bow hunting without a sidearm". I wonder if I could use this video to apply to carry in the woods since there are black bears everywhere here.

Won't do you any good... in Canada sidearms are scarier than bears...

The one truly close encounter I had with a bear likely resulted in me doing something similar..... but also likely at a higher octave and longer....I certainly could not have collected myself that quickly and continued the video..... and my experience was nowhere near as intense, in fact it looks like the hunter jammed his bow in the bear's mouth... and I was carrying a rifle file and admittedly froze...

Can you relate your experience where you remained "grizzly adams" level stoic in a similar situation?

Sure and I didn't scream like a girl, sorry to disappoint. That was way funny video though lmao

No stories or experiences to add..... plenty of poking at others....... and certainly nothing like the video in the OP....

Just a mocking of others.......

Value added = 0

I've never had find out how I would react to that situation and hope I never do, but I will admit with 100% certainty that guy handled it and stayed calmer than I likely would of.

So, last weekend when you were scratching yourself in your mom's basement playing World of Warcraft, you handled it pretty well did you?

Oh...... he "handled it".......

Wouldn't be a CGN thread without these comments. For the most part, I think he did well in evading most of the CGN "but why not me" whining.

I'd also say very close to "traditional hunting" methods. And damn good composure, all things given, to boot.

No I'm not as cool as you, I was building my new house instead.

I bow hunt bears alone but I also pack a 12.5in shotty with me and hunt from a tree stand. I've had plenty of bears climb up my tree and never had to shoot but I feel a lot better knowing that if I do have to shoot one day, I will be able to do so...

Seems the trend is to carry a sidearm when bowhunting -

Or a collapsible stock shotgun. The Benelli M4 would do nicely.

Sadly true. What's the threshold now, 1/64th "Metis" or "First Nations" to be able to exercise your "traditional" subsistence rights in Ontario?
