I don't mean to make light of the terrible death he suffered but this was preventable. If it had been me and four of my closest friends we would have been sweating how we were going to explain the bear had been shot over 50 times. None of us are all that tough but who ever the bear didn't get would have unloaded on him. CONCEALED CARRY. Its for bad guys, bears, aggressive put bulls and anything else that wants to eat you.
