Umm...you have a gun on your hip, remember? (aka: Bad day at work? :) )

[Wrong Way]

Pretty much self explanatory

Maybe he figured it was too much paperwork involved afterwards, to be bothered with drawing it? 8)

After hitting the ground maybe he did shoot it, after all that work on the bear's part I fail to see why it would have given up on the guy after getting him down.

[PrairieMedic]

That photo sequence is insane!

 

[44fordy]

Good thing the camerman was there to help!

 

[Thors Hammer]

Is His Buddy Driving Away? Nice Friend!

 

[Hack]

The bear is wearing a tracking collar.

Maybe the rangers tranq'd him and this was the first time he was let out...

Perhaps that explains the hesitance to shoot.

He would have had to change his underwear after that one. After the cage fell on the bear it did not seem to take an interest in the guy....so he did end up shooting it?

I read this story many a year ago. Apparently the camera man ended up filling it with .357 rounds. I'll look up the story and post it in a min.

"... and the bear started biting Kis' leg. That's when Smith stopped photographing the attack. Kis eventually unholstered his .357 magnum handgun and shot the animal, killing it."
(^By the camera mans account)

Here's the pics again with the sequence of events posted below them.
