And I think DMT knows Daryl Hannah.....

Without ron's bump in the night we would not have

then a romp through the Buttermilks killing skinny asian boulderers by the dozens.

And that would be a shame.

Dean did what he thought best at the time, get over it.

Though those pj bottoms are disturbing....

Well, I think learned a few valuable lessons from this mess.

First, if a bear is outside of your home at 1:00 am, do not go outside with a gun, cause if it comes towards you, you may freak out, overreact and could end up shooting the poor thing.

Second, if you are dumb enough to do #1, do not brag and lie about it on the internet, by posting photos and making up bs like "it charged me!!!!". Its obvious Dean's story was false, and the bear didn't have to die for Dean's incompetence.

Third, guns suck, and idiots with guns suck even more. Try the old pot and pan thing, or maybe buy bear spray if you live in bear prone areas. Hell, shoot the gun in the air and see if that scares it off. Or better yet, stay in your house and turn on some lights.

What a shame this bear was slaughtered for ripping some screens. Hey Dean, any chance there was food on the counters in the kitchen? You only have yourself to blame for how this ended.

Multiple headshots in the dark after being woken up in the middle of the night and being scared out of your mind?

And not a single round missed? With a stinkin' pistol nonetheless! WHAT? What are you? A Seal or something?

I've been shooting various things for a long, long time. That's Godlike pistol work if it's true...

And what ammunition were you using in the .40? Obviously nothing penetrated the brain, did the rounds glance off the skull?

Bear medicine around here is 12g slugs if need be. Never had to yet though. They've gotten bold around here but not breaking into houses yet.

Ron, i am not telling you anything. But, if I lived where bears frequently travel, I would not be a dumbass and take precautions for my sake and the bears.

Dean blamed others (he is good at that) for feeding the bears. Any idea if food was out on the counters in Dean's kitchen? I wouldn't blame the bear for trying to get a freshly baked pie off his counter. Which would obliterate the carnivorous predator story he offered.

Well I actually agree with you about the idiots, but if guns suck so bad then why would you have one to fire into the air.
And you must have a great deal of experience with black bears with especially guilty consciences who run away when the lights are turned on.

I mean,...... you do, right? (otherwise I'm sure you wouldn't post it, right?)

Where exactly does one find this sub-species (ursus shrinking violet?)

Hey Ron,
did you catch the part in The Edge where they follow a river for miles but find out that they have gone in a big circle and wind up at they're old campsite?

Who writes this shlt?

Only human flesh would have satiated that bear.

Bottom line, it had to die.

I would prefer grizzlies and wolf packs to hordes of urban commando-type hunter wannabes.

DMT,

I couldn't agree with you more on this. It was really disturbing to see all the wannabes riding around on Beasore/Minerets last weekend. Fricking standing on their jeeps looking for bears - LAME.

The version of the story I heard - and I'm more sure it is true than this one went like this. There was this little blond girl, and she got caught sleeping and was found in baby bears bed after first trying the Papa Bear and Mama Bears beds which she found uncomfortable, I think the little bitch ate their portage as well and chilled in their chairs first....I don't remember what happened when she was caught by the bears, but caught she was: and as she was unarmed I suspect it was real bad.

I probably screwed that story up, as I heard it a long time ago. But that's the gist of it anyway. The moral and this is real important, don't trust those F*ing bears in your house, or in their house either for that matter...keep your doors locked and stay away from little blond girls who are just wandering around in the woods for no good reason.

That's what I heard anyway - but it was a long long time ago. Take care all!

Riley: Re your comment:

This bear doesnt like human eyes and face, for some reason, and so its victims are usually found with their eyeballs eaten out and their face eaten off.

Seems to me like this fact means those bears LIKE:
human eyes and faces;)

I shot a bear in my pajamas. What he was doing in my pajamas...etc (Groucho)
Yikes! Glad all is well, Cragman.

Edit below, Probably so Piton Ron, cause I didn't read all 500+ posts my bad.

Bear's good eatin' and their pelts make warm coats. Their teeth and claws make nice necklaces!
Bear's are useful.

Nice Job! Curious what your Beretta is chambered in.

Excellent Shooting under extremely difficult circumstances!

Ok I read further .40 5 to head one to the ass! Nice!

Did this get bumped because Chris listed it in the ST News?

Hey Cragman, how're the therapy sessions going? They make you cry for the bear yet? ;)

Contrary to Nepalese folk lore that sloth bears deliberately try to disfigure people,
I think people lose eyes and faces to them because they attack standing up and what's in reach are human faces.
