Another man vs. bear thread! I think it's funny how this hollywood scenario is played out in our minds about how it would happen. You see an ominous bear in the woods. It stands up on it's hind legs and roars before it starts charging at you. You rack the pump on your shotgun/draw your revolver and cock it/cycle your lever action and begin firing. Bullets are missing and hitting as the bear approaches at full gait. Just when its' claws are about to swipe, it falls dead right in front of you as deal the death blow with your shotgun/handgun/lever action/etc., saving your life and the lives of those in your group.
