I want to be the first one

Bear defense? Easy. A can of peas and a shovel. When you spot the bear, quickly dig a hole with the shovel and spread peas around it. When the bear stops to take a pea, kick him in the hole... :D
 
I think IF I had my "choice"... I'd pack a "Gatehouse Bear Poker" for up close and personal defense and have a "Todbartell Magnum" for reaching out and touching them...

Bwahahahaha!!!!

Cheers

Er..... you mean something to scare the s**t out of you if the bear doesn't?
In that case something along the lines of a 600 Nitro would do the trick. The mere thought of firing something like that would be at least as effective as ExLax.

i would have liked to pet it, knowing it would be the only time in my life i could pet a live grizzly. Of course, you just need a tag, and that can be taken care of. And i vote for .600overkill, just because it has the word overkill in it :D
 
I did want to pet it...I was thinking, you know, maybe I could just rub a little steak sauce on my hand, and then it would just lick it off. How cute would that be? I mean once the screaming and arterial spraying were over with.

Seriously though, I did want to pet it, but I didn't.

I wish I could have had a video of its trailer shaking around when it got annoyed by something, though. Huge trailer, like a horse trailer, shaking around like a rowboat full of drunken leprechauns. The bear was bellowing away. Pretty wild, actually.

Didn't have to...talked to the trainers for a while. 990 lb female, 1400 lb male, on a movie set here in Vancouver. Immense! The male looked about the size of an old volkswagen minibus! Only with teeth like bayonets!

It may have been the same bear they used in a film up here in Whistler, in the 1990's IIRC.

The thing was HUGE!! I went and saw it and it was really awe inspiring to be that close to such a massive creature.

There is a picture that used to hang int he lobby of the hotel they stayed at, of the bear on it's hind legs, with it's trainer standing in FRONT of it.

The bear absolutey dwarfs the trainer.

I think it was the same grizz they used in that Alaskan movie, when the bear stalks Anthony Hopkins and one of the Baldwins...

%^&*( HUGE!!:eek:
 
The movie was Shoot To Kill with Sidney Poitier and Tom Berrenger.
1988. The thing I remember about that bear was the size of it's head!
