chuck375Bears are cuddly
Here's a picture (1980 vintage) of a Russian soldier giving canned milk to a mama Polar bear with her cubs in tow.

There is sometimes a fine line between having balls and having shit for brains. I think the soldier has the latter.

p dog shooterPosting pictures people doing stupide things with bears only proves one thing.
That the people of doing stupide things with bears are just that.

chuck375I have great respect for bears. I've probably killed more of them than I should have (all legally). I would like to go on a spring bear hunt in the Olga Bay unit with Scott Mileur before I get too old. I won't shoot anything under 10' though, except with my iPhone. I guess the saying is, the only way to shoot a 10' bear is not to shoot anything smaller ...

A7DaveDang, this picture is all over the place. I just had a friend post this pic as a meme with the "This is a real man, not one who hunts them" or some such baloney.
Would love to know the context. One thing for certain, if this were a grizzly sow, the guy in the picture and the photographer would be in bad shape...

He has probably had plenty of vodka to try that.... Wonder how you say hold my bottle of vodka and watch this in Russian? Bubba doesn't know any Russian.

chuck375Thanks! I do enjoy reading them. I think i've killed my last bear unless I'm threatened or I can afford that once in a life time hunt on Kodiak Island and see a 10 footer. I really do enjoy reading them. Please keep posting them
Couple of comments. I feel real bad for the soldier's family and any other person mauled by a bear. Secondly, if a bear is eating your bird food leave it the f*** alone! After he's gone, move the bird feeder or get rid of it. We had a 300 lb black bear eating out of ours on our deck and we got rid of it. You start shouting at a bear eating your bird food and it comes after you, in my opinion, that's not a wise thing to do.
On another note, Happy Fourth to you all

Chuck

Up in the arctic regions of Greenland, Denmark’s Sirius Sledge Patrol soldiers kill polar bears with 10mm Glock 20s.
No huggin’ & kissin’ out on the tundra.

Very interesting....I knew nothing about them:
Because of the special nature of the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol operations, a wide range of unique equipment is required that is not normally used by the Danish armed forces.[3][12]
The weapons carried also reflect the harsh conditions. Among the equipment used by the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol is the M1917 Enfield bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield, known in Danish service as the Gevær M/53 (17), and the Glock 20 pistol chambered in 10mm Auto.[13]
The Sirius Dog Sled Patrol uses the standard .30-06 Springfield 168-grain (10.89 g) armor piercing, M2 military rifle round and also civilian hollow-points. The patrolmen feel that the M2 military round is best against aggressive polar bears at long range, but that the hollow-points are better against an enraged musk ox. Typically, the patrolmen arrange their stripper clips so every third round is a hollow-point.
The Sirius Dog Sled Patrol formerly used Pistol M/49 sidearms chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum, but they proved insufficient against the polar bears encountered.[14]

Very interesting history.

chuck375I've heard from a few Alaskan brown bear guides that they've gone to Glock 20s for sidearms. Good gun.

And here I thought that Alaskan bear guides only needed rifles.

carpetman1Chuck375---How do you measure that a bear is ten feet before you shoot it? If nine feet eleven do you throw it back?

Depend on your guide particularly if it's a great one like Phil or Scott Mileur

It takes a lot of exspearince to accurately judge the size of a bear.
I have heard my stories of bears getting smaller and smaller as the hunter walks up to a dead bear.
One of the most extreme ensamples I saw.
We used to register bears at the sheriff's dept. I worked for.
I was called up to the office to do so.
On the way inside I looked into the back of the pickup as saw a cub couldn't have been over 30lbs.
At the time a legal bear in Wis. had to be over 100lbs.
I talked to the hunter. A first time bear shooter.
He said he saw the cubs head pop over a log and he thought it was huge.
When he got up to it he saw it was tiny.
I called the local warden and let him handle it.

carpetman1makes sense you carry a scale and weigh a bear to make sure it's 100 lbs. In Texas some counties a buck must have a 13 inch spread. A law that a fish has to be a certain length is something you can ascertain but 100 lbs or 13 inches????

From a practical stand point some laws don't make any sense

I spent some time reading about bear judging, also had killed 9 black bears over the years. That being said looking at bears with my guide through field glasses and a spotting scope over 5 days was the most valuable. In the end I spotted my bear across the lake, it was the biggest one I had seen so far, my guide took one look at him and said let's go get him. I had just come down with congestive heart failure so I was looking for a true wilderness experience that wouldn't kill me so I knew hte bears at Upper Togiak Lake weren't the monsters of Kodiak or Cold Bay. Just the same I shot him up close and personal (13 yards) and was thrilled with the hunt.

Chuck
