Now That's a Big Bear

[ARtraveler]

Bear is sedated and about to be tagged.

 

[cuznjohn]

even sedated that scares me

Why do we do this? To Learn? What? who cares? and what differance does it make? Especially to the bear.

Wow!! I'm packing a tent and bed-roll in case I end up not finding a room on my way north or coming back. But I'm afraid to camp out in bear country!

 

[Bob Denman]

Pack iron, and be prepared to use it!

I would LOVE to have seen some pictures of the rest of that Yogi! :bowdown:

I would, but Canada seems to have a problem with that. Besides, my handguns would probably just make a bear mad.

:shocked: omigosh...:shocked:
I forgot all about the whole Canadian thing going on... pps:

Me too! The big ones look upon humans as lunch or a quick snack sometimes. :yikes:

One needs some substantial iron to take down a bear. I am afraid to even shoot guns that big. :bowdown:

Most likely for various conservation studies, learning how big their territories (radio collar) are, migrations, habitat information.

.454 Casull, and up! :thumbup:
Mostly up! :shocked:

 

[Chupaca]

Yikes..!!

With paws like that he could plow feild for planting...:roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: I've seen the paws on two 600 pound Black Bear...
Those mitts could just ball them up, and CRUSH them! :shocked:

 

[bruiser]

Big Foot?

 

[Bob Denman]

No.. BIGGER foot! :bowdown:

 

[Cavman]

Glock 10mm or any 10mm is a good choice also.

Heck, native americans used a bow and arrow made of sticks, sinew and stones to kill these things. I'm guessing my .50 flintlock could, too. Or maybe my M1911A1? (my loads, of course)

It all depends on the "urgency" of the Kill...
If you're not trying to stop an animal that's hunting you; just about any reasonable centerfire round can do the job... IF it is placed properly! :thumbup:
But for STOPPING something of that size... always shoot the most powerful firearm, that you can accurately shoot!
(I'm about the biggest fan of the .45ACP in here... I wouldn't carry it as a stopper, in Big Bear Country)
