Amazing story that!

I once heard a story from one of Ozzy Osbourne's 'roadies' from back when Ozzy was a paranoid, drug fuelled nutter. He had to find 1000 brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. Jeff Beck pops his head around the door and mentions that there's a little sweet shop on the edge of town. So there's the roadie and Keith Moon breaking into this sweet shop, well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great Bengal Tiger! He managed to take out the Tiger with a can Mace, but the shop owner and his son, that's a different story. He had to beat them to death with their own slippers!! Nasty buisness really, but sure enough, He got the M&Ms and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show that night.

Isn't that from Wayne's World 2?

What do you do if you encounter a bear again?

Run the hell away.

Don't play dead, because bears like to maul carrion a bit first. Run away - but seeing that bears can run at 30mph and you can run at about 15-20mph, you need a bit of help.

So either make sure you're with a friend - you don't have to outrun the bear, you only have to outrun your friend - or periodically take an item of clothing off and throw it behind you. The bear will stop to investigate each item.


Failing that, shoot it.

:lol: You don't have to outrun the bear, just your friend. I gotta remember that one. I'd shoot it, but my .22 rifle would barely stop a cat(small ones at that). :D

Yeah with bears you just chuck them clothing and make yourself look big.

So eventually, naked and looking big? :odd:

"Looking"?

:D

Isn't that from "Without A Paddle"?


"Adopt the foetal position!"
 
Actually, it is, but it's perfectly accurate.
 
Actually, your best defence against a bear is to run away from it down a hill. One of my dad's co-workers escaped from a black bear this way, it saved his life. For some reason, bears can't run down hills very quickly.

But if you can't find a downward slope, your next best bet is to make the bear fall onto something sharp. This may sound hard at first, but it makes sense. Normally when bears attack, they will stand on their hind legs to intimidate their prey by making themselves appear larger. Bears can't do this for very long though, so they will come crashing back to the ground fairly soon. So, when they do that, if you happen to have something like a tree branch that comes to a good point, place it under where the bear will fall, and the weight of the bear should work against it, since it will produce enough momentum to penetrate the skin (unless the object used to impale isn't sharp enough, or is at an angle where it would just simply snap). Mind you, the odds of finding a nice sharp branch in the woods is very unlikely, but it's better than saying you're completely screwed.
 
You'd best stay away from Winnipeg if you're scared of bears, I heard that Winnie the Pooh can be a bad mamma jamma when provoked.
 
Well done to the old man for killing it 👍 I'd like to think I would do something similar! maybe break its jaws or snap its front legs sideways .... oh and a swift kick in the balls also 👍

as for the bear scenario ..... your pretty much lunch when one of those giant grizzly's see you as part of the menu .... but I'd try the swift kick to the nuts also hoping he's Mr bear and a few roundhouses to the head maybe! ... get him stunned then run like hell :dopey: poke his eyes out is a good option if you can dare put your hands near that cave sized mouth :dunce:

Thank god I live in the UK ... and its only the odd stray dogs humping each other on the street that comes close to wildlife ..... well in the city anyway :)

Oh Winnipeg, omg. Winnipeg is leik teh black-bear ghetto, maann, theys all badass bears.



But seriously, bears, they are lazy. If they can't just grab you and eat you, they'll probably give up. I know a guy who was biking along Fraser river in BC somewhere and accidentally came right up near one (couldn't see it, he was going around a curved path or something). The bear came after him (and being able to run 40mph they're pretty quick for such a big animal) and all he did was lay on the ground and pull his bike on top of him. Bear batted/swatted the bike a couples times and gave up and went home.

And another time, my dad threw a beer can at one's head while he was on his Quad and it chased him. Ass.
