Bear Set taking over for the 99 and 2000

[Son Goku]

They can climb trees that fast!!!!?

Y'all didn't know this?

 

[Son Goku]

Thankfully the overwhelming majority of Black Bears want nothing to do with humans and will scurry off quick fast once they sense you in their midst. That bear that ran up the tree was a cub and was probably too young to really assess the situation and not run into human presence, plus youthful curiosity and all that good sh1t. Of course if you know one ran away from you, please go in the opposite direction, even the most timid animal goes from defense to offense quickly once it feels too encroached upon.

Now if you come across a rabid one or get between a mom and her cubs? Yeah you better have some bear spray on you and you better know how to use access and use it quickly, or else

And notice I said bear spray and not a gun. You get a much wider attack zone with a mist than you would a bullet and burning eyes are a lot harder for a bear to fight through than a bullet from a pistol that it can eat and keep fighing through, even if you hit a vital organ that will eventually kill it.

Overall though, a black bear attack is on your list of of small concerns while exploring in the woods. Brown bears (Grizzy, Kodiak) aren't retreaters and will wreck you off GP, but won't actively seek out a fight with a human. Polar Bears will straight up stalk and hunt humans and are always on the offensive, fukk a cute Coca-Cola Christmas commercial.

Agreed with everything, except maybe the gun thing.

Who said I only had the pistol on me? And a black bear is definitely getting put down with a big enough round (or magazine of em).
Brown bears are catching hot ones off of GP. If rangers question me, I'll tell em I was afraid for my life.

Please don't spread this. This is how you get people, especially novice outdoorsmen, killed.

We actually go over this typa shyt at work because of the nature of what we do. I'll be alright with my straps, you can chill with your bear mace.

 

[Asante]

Now it makes sense why they always say don’t climb up a tree if you’re being chased by a bear.

 

[Son Goku]

Eh, we all gotta die sometime.

Stop the fukking trolling. There ain't a seasoned outdoorsman alive that would co-sign the BS you're trying to pass off in this thread. You're playing an extremely immature game right now and the only reason I'm even acknowledging your stupidity is to check the nonsense your spewing for other members.

For anyone who's considering one day getting into forest exploration but doesn't know much about it, think about it like this in regards to a black bear (or any bear) attack: if you think a black bear from 50 yards away won't be nose to nose with you by the time you recognize that it's in attack mode, have to unholster your pistol, chamber a round, put your hands in proper shooting position, aim, then pull the trigger, well make sure to tell either God or the surgeon that's desperately trying to put your intestines back in your stomach that I said hi. Not to mention what I said earlier about enraged mega fauna that's running on adrenaline and has the ability to eat those bullets to complete the task of eviscerating you, even if you luckily pierce a vital organ.

Also ask yourself this: "Would I rather be protected by a mist that expands into a wide net of coverage, or a bullet that can only travel along a single linear path?" The answer should be obvious, and if it isn't, don't even consider stepping into The Great Outdoors.

My last point is to go back to what I said about all the steps taken to get a gun ready to fire vs. pulling out a can of spray, pointing it properly and pushing down on a nozzle. Again, the better option should be obvious by now.

I love the outdoors and would love nothing more than seeing fellow brothas and sistas embracing nature, embracing new experiences, and benefiting from it's therapeutic effects. Nature is not to be feared but it BETTER BE RESPECTED. So please, make sure that if you do consider spending some time in the woods, make sure you're thoroughly researched and prepared and that you take every precaution to protect yourself to make it home alive.

And whatever you do, stay the fukk away from bad advice like the dude I'm responding to trying to tell me & you that it's better to have a pistol than spray in the event of a bear attack. Heck, you can easily research it for yourself online. Bad outdoor advice can easily cost you your life and that's a game I don't play whatsoever.

Cool, I already said to do you dude.

 

[RhodyRum]

STFU. You're trying to get people killed with your sh1t posts and tried to run BS past a dude who's got experience dealing with the wilderness. Northern Minnesota wilderness at that. Now you wanna play "Mr. I Don't Wanna Hear It" because your trolling got sh1tted on.

You don't like it? Do better with your posting. I can't stand disingenuous a$$holes, especially when discussing matters of life and death.

I don't be around bear country, breh!

 

[Son Goku]

My bad, I watched a lot of Discovery and Animal Planet as a kid.


I mean, it's bears are far south as N Flawda. Unless you're out west or in parts of the northeast, it's bears errywhere.

Make me shut the fukk up.
I don't give a fukk what you like or don't like, little bytch.


If anybody is reading my posts in this thread and taking life advice from your or me, they already lawst.


Imagine getting upset because your ass isn't trained to use guns (I am) and I said I'd rather bet my life of on a large caliber pistol (or revolver) or a HiV rifle round than a bear spray, and I wasn't even trolling.

there's this cat who's been tracking bear defense incidents for years

note to self: don't use a .22 against a polar bear
