Incredible bear attack story

I read this same story a while back. Doesn't do much for my confidence in carrying a pistol for protection against a big bear. If 10 quickly placed 500 S&W Magnums can't get the job done, then I think a potent rifle is much more the tool for the job.

Check out some of the books by stephen herarra (sp).
Usually if a grizzly female attacks in a suprise confrontation, it will stop the attack once the danger has been nutralized. Quite and still
When black bears attack it is usually large males that are viewing you as prey so fight back.

If any bear attacks at night it is usually a predacious attack.

Of course I am over simplifying here but the truth is that many of us canadians that spend time in the woods tend to think of black bears as pests to be shoed away. That is not always the case

That is extremely true, and its even worse when people see them as cute, and feed them. Man, I was at a camp ground in NS, and there were these jackasses throwing hunk of F$%^ing pork to a black bear, was like jesus, Im leaving now. It was the most stupid thing I ever saw.

Also, grizzi's will hunt you, just as polar bears, thats what I really dont like. The worst thing that ever happend to me was I was down at the lake we lived by in NS, I saw a cub coming out of some bushes about 30 yrds away, the way I saw it was I saw the cub and not the mom, that cub hadden't seen me yet, and I was getting the hell outa there :D
Lets just say, I could feel dirt hitting the back of my head.:D

Humans.... the other white meat.
 
True, a pistol may not stop them, but I find it better than nothing in the woods. I carry a .44Mag when Bow hunting, no way I am carrying a rifle & a bow.
