Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Why I choot bears

Now we can’t hunt bears with dogs.
Same with mountain cats.
Totally decimating the deer(black tail) here.....

LOL! For now on my soap and coffee goes into the bear bag over the tree limb. I had no idea they like coffee too!
I can understand the soap part. He. Just didn't understand how to use it after rolling in the latrine.

Lol

Yep.

That's the object.

I think some have had dogs that succeeded in killing skunks after getting sprayed.

I would like to know what a face of wasp fogger would do.

I've heard it stops some big apes in their tracks by taking their breath away.

You should do some research.

Tell me more about the big apes.

I have had spooky hikes in the woods........ bucks lake,silver lake, bullards bar, little grass

Not something most people want to talk about.

That's a good question. That's come up many times in my line of work. Until recently, nobody wanted to risk testing that theory on anything but wasps. I've taught for decades why I do not recommend wasp spray for self defense against humans. There's better options. I've never considered it for dangerous wildlife. (BTW, my earlier comment about the James Bond snake spray and Bic lighter was a joke the video reminded me of. I think someone might have taken me seriously...not you. I wasn't clear, for anyone else who is wondering.)

Instead of teaching that again, there's a volunteer who put it to the test.

I was in a bar in the UP that had a bear wrestling event. I was scheduled to go up, then the bear took a shat and cleared the bar.

My watch bear at the remote cabin started a new bed under the overhang. There was a lump in the old one.



He's a good bear, but he's still a bear. This is our cabin's kitchen window.



I think we saw him about a river mile or bit more downriver- maybe 1/2-3/4 mile as the raven flies. Bruiser of a blackie was just laying there on the river bank, forepaws crossed, in the sun, turning his head to watch as we went by.

You scared the crap out of a bear? Well, you shouldnt need protection in bear country.

He didnt inhale it.

Ok, a hatchet and taser.

Reminds me of one of those at a mall way back when.
The bear beat every big guy that got in the ring with him. It was a big blackie.

Then a skinny little janitor watching the match set down his broom and got into the ring.
I thought, Oh no.. don't do it!!!
Surprisingly, the little guy was quicker than an NBA player. He ducked and faked, until eventually the event referee put that scrawny janitors paw in the air as the winner. Talk about an underdog. Better than all of the pro fights I've long since forgotten.

I don't know if that's been tested yet with wasp spray yet.
He might just just try that. Hope he doesn't end up looking like a marval comic hero of the fantastic 4.

Looking for grubs?

Not gonna stop a bear lol

Especially if you can stop and taste it.

Lucky bear. Jag would have chooted it. 😉

Stayng out of the rain with the bed, but he can smell cooking that was done inside, I guess.
