North Vancouver Island Grizzly Bear Encounter.

Few hundred rounds later an we made dinner, simple hot dogs over the fire an burnt all the remains/packaging/ect from them, so out comes the Whisky. 3 bottles of fireball later we're having great time shootin between the two of us."

So you arrive in the dark, fire off a few hundred rounds in the dark, drink 3 bottles of whiskey while shooting some more in the dark.

Two words come to mind 'complete stupidity'.

Everything else mentioned becomes irrelevant.
Sorry if you are offended but all responsible gun owners should be offended by your actions.

If your 12.5" Grizzly was loaded with 3" slugs, you wouldn't have rang out 5 shots. It would have been 4, and that's assuming 1 was already chambered.

Well, that's what my Grizzly can hold, anyways. (But five 2-3/4" slugs... no problem.)

How did you pull this off?

Good to hear you survived. Sorry to hear you had to spray a lot of shots, drunk, without knowing what you were shooting at, or what was behind it. Very bad situation.
 
Shooting problem camp bears at night should always be a last resort situation. You can't be sure of what's behind the bear and if you wound it, you have to go after it in the dark, not good.

Since it was just 2 guys in the camp in an area otherwise devoid of people you knew it was clear behind the bear (I assume?). If you are in a larger camp (say 20 - 50 people) you don't shoot in the dark unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary to save a life. Otherwise you gather your people and do a headcount so you know where everyone is. Then if necessary you can do what needs to be done.

This is why the tents in a camp in bear habitat should be arranged in a line, not in a circle or any other pattern which will restrict your ability to shoot in case of a problem animal.
 
Where are all these crazy ass stories coming from lately.

This is complete BS, it has to be.

If it is true, you deserve to have your guns taken from you.

Before ya post crap like this, how about ya think how it reflects on the rest of us.

No wonder the anti's are always beakin' off with guys like you feeding this ####.

Smarten up !!! or stop telling lies.

x3.A good example of why firearms and alcohol should not be combined.
 
Something weird here. If it was me posting this example of iresponsible firearms use, it would be locked, edited and i'd have my pee pee slapped.

I was sleeping in my sniper tent when a twig snapped and woke me up. I now knew this was the moment i was waiting for my entire life. I loaded up my general electric mini gun with a five thousand rd belt and started shootin all around me in case the twig snapper was running around in circles. My sniper tent caught fire and burned my shoe. I put the fire out and cooled my shoe. i heard the twig snap again, so i started shooting again. i ran out of ammo and thats when i really started to worry. a twig flew into my tent through a bullet hole and poked me in my right eye. i had only a hand grenade left so i unzipped the tent and passsed it out through the flap. It exploded then i heard another twig snapp...i knew i was a goner. So i zipped up my sleeping bag and crawled all the way back. I remained still for a moment, then a heard the zipper start unzipping. I was so scared. It was a giant grizzly bear and he farted into my sleeping bag and i was overcome by the gasses and passed out. When i awoke i was bent over a stump in Stanley Park. oh my i thought. ..and i lived to tell me story.

Im going to tell you a story that isnt true......
Two dead boys drew their swords and shot each other,
A deaf policeman heard the noise and came to shoot those two dead boys.
If you dont believe this story is true,
Even ask the blind man cause he saw it to.



**grizzlies ARE in fact on the north island**
 
WOW who knew you could see strait enough to see a grizzly let alone use a firearm after 3 bottles of FIREBALL. Maybe next time if your out in the bush in grizzly country you should drink moderately or wait till your safe and inclosed by 4 solid walls and a roof before you tilt the bottle. The two of you are lucky you didn't put holes in each other by accident.
 
Yes, there are grizzlies up there. I work for a mine that flies me up to Hardy then i drive to Mcneil and Port Alice. The Blacks are all over the roads. We saw grizzly tracks at our site. But, really the jelly fish were our only concern and don't fly Pacific coastal airlines unless you want to eats trees at 300 knots.
