So, you think that .44 Mag is enough, eh?

Holy sheep!!....I mean bear!

That is one big bear. Shot placement is even more critical.

Wow. What hit him? A Freightliner?

Those would definitely scratch most itches!

i agree! remove the paw, have it de-fleshed, and keep it as a backscratcher!

aaaannnywho, those are some serious "finger" nails

Thanks!

I thought a .44 was enough gun, now I'm thinking 45-70 isn't!

hey, if my butts about to get eaten, give me one of two weapons: an .88 magnum(bears hide behind schools ya know) OR a M-79 grenaide launcher loaded with HE rounds.

I think the question is "what caliber of truck is adequate?"

As I recall, the pickup was totalled.

arnt guns chambered for the Ford Short Magnum kinda heavy?

Poor Bear!

Poor Little Defenseless Baby Bear What would Yogi and BooBoo Bear say? Well what ever gun... You might want to carry along a salt shaker... to season the gun before the bear fed it to you. If that sucker got after me, I'd be like Wendy Bagwell, "Reckon where do they want a back door?"

or

I still think a tube full of 12ga slugs would do it, though I have no interest in testing this theory.

The heck with the bear, I want to see pictures of the truck!

I vote we make this a sticky!

+1 for making it a sticky. No more stealing pic-a-nic baskets for little Yogi.

Those grizzlies are spreading their territory further SE away from the Wind River range in WY.

I do recall that some bow hunters killed a charging griz this year with a .44 mag.
but I think they got lucky!

Here are some more stories on Grizzly incident in Montana this fall. If your heading there to hunt this year, better get your self some bear spray.

apparently the gentleman in the story below took one swipe from the bear and it popped his eyeball out. Looking at the pics above, I can see this as a possibility

Man someone better run out for a truck load of Kingsford. Thats going to be one hell of a BBQ.

Maybe we should all chip in and get Yogi a manicure......or some nail clippers.......on second thought, maybe some hedge clippers.....

WOW .. I wonder what it did to the car??
