RE: grizzly hunt on tv
I have much respect for those big bears but if I was hunting and one got to close and false charged its getting shot! No if's or but's about it! If it gets in my comfort zone and I feel threatened it's going down. I'll be damned if I get mauledby some sow that saw me at 200 yards and decides tocharge and I don't know ifI would want the cubs to servive anyway, they see their mama charge a human a couple of times and you don't think they will learn how to do it themselves?It would go in this order SHOOT BEAR WITH RIFLE, EMPTY MAGAZINE IN IT, GRAB MY SIDE ARM AND FINISH IT OFF AND THEN MACEIT JUST IS CASE IT AIN'T DEAD AND STILL HAS SOME LIFE IN IT!
I would refuse to have another animal intimidate me in the middle of nowhere.Now I have never been in big bear country but plan on going in the next few years so I plan on getting more educated before I go but no one can ever convince me that giving a charging bear a warning shot when it is 30 feet from you is a good idea. All it will do is screw you up if you do need a second shot. But I think most mishapsoccur when you basiclly suprise them and walk on top of them by accident. I have a friend that was chased by a black bear while trout fishing and it was reported to have done it before. Damn thing chased him right up to the pickup! I told him he should have gotten his shotgun outfrom behind the seat and gone back after it!

I've been very close to bears that heard me comeing, and then came towards me to see what was makeing the noise, and thenjust stood there moveing back and forth nervously. I held my ground, sometimes they would come closer yet trying to wind me and then move off looking back to see what i was going to do...
