Some of us Texans might want to come up and hunt the great state of Alaska again with some of you guys if we can get past the need for a belt fed 20MM hogleg back up pistol to address all the man eating bears hiding behind every tree ... well that and all the lightning hazards! It's a wonder any of you have survived at all.

Cool

Todd, if you come up I'll lend you an RPG for bear protection. Tough to maneuver in a tent but the back flash makes a good second exit hole from the bear.

Cheers

BOOM


Reminds me of a hunt up your way back in 1998. We had caribou hanging in the wind and had placed strobe lights on the meat to keep bears off of it at night. Strobes worked the first night. Next night we awoke to some noise around the meat poles and knew it was a bear. I'll never forget the bear's face when I shined the flashlight on him. Just like the Homer emoji but with a bou front quarter in his mouth!

homer

A nice rock up side the head worked to make him drop the meat and keep them away for the rest of the night. I suspect something more might have been necessary if we stayed another night as they became more brave each evening. Maybe that bazooka would have been appropriate the 3rd night!

LOL

We chased a bear out of camp one evening by throwing rocks.

My cousin was pitching the rocks.

As he was doing so the bear turn towards my cousin.

The bear took two steps towards my cousin and popped his teeth he was about 15 yards.

After about 3rd rock he connected a direct hit on his nose. The bear left and as far as we know didn't come back.

My cousin said he was very glad I was standing just of to the side with a firearm.

My cousin said how close would you have left him get. Before you shot him.

I said he would have taken 3 steps instead of two he would have been a dead bear.

Some times other methods work but it is always nice know that one can take care of the problem.

If you ever watch a NFS video on what to do if a bear comes into camp rocks and banging pots and pans recommend.

You can watch them banging pans and picking up a rock

Could it have been avoided maybe, maybe not.

Trying to read an animals mind is hard thing to do.


Apparently you have no experience with wildlife.
Not a single thing you say is either sensible or true.
Sticking that machine in reverse would have alleviated the problem. U turning that 100 hp 150" track rocket would have alleviated the problem.
Simply keeping his mouth shut and not antagonizing the moose would have alleviated the problem.
What a complete ignorant jackass.

What statement did I make that is untrue.

So his life wasn't endanger. So a moose striking at you with his hoofs isn't endangering
you.

You know where it happen. A lot of people would like to know please tell us.

You are saying it could have been avoided.

I said maybe so. Maybe not, you were not there I was not there.

So you can read what is going trough an animals mind.

Again what one of my statements is false

I don't know. Wink A few weeks back just running at the black bear in camp and yelling worked like it always does. No need to bang up a bunch of pots & pans. nilly

Texans opining, with Texan lawyer-backup is never not funny.


Carry on.


Point 1 - I completely agree. The guy showed poor judgement, or worse, by closing the distance with the animal instead of giving it space to move on by its on will.

Point 2 - Because of Point 1, again, I completely agree.

Point 3 - Some of you Alaskans like painting us Texans with a very broad brush. How bout not lumping all of us into the same category with this mom's basement dwelling, hot pocket munching, mountain dew sipping, video gaming, Shootaway mimicking, Cheetos fingered, "All The Best" wishing douchenozzle! I'm sure that would go a long way toward removing the "Alaska Bush People" stereotype some might hold. And yes TSTRUM, we did see your Pecker Puffin Party comment before you thought better and deleted it. Actually, it was funny. It should have just been aimed directly at the above mentioned troll. rotflmo

My apologies to the good Texans! The D-nozzle in question is clueless. Others not so much. Wink

That ain't gonna happen trying to get a boat-anchor .44 Mag roscoe into action. You'll be a Grizzly's appetizer before the second shot.

Duh the most common reason for most fire arms to fail is the lack of maintenance.

Why would you blame the firearm when you didn't do your part.


Those were the good old days. Most Glock or other semi auto jams now, are due to limp-wristed fairy-god-mothers not having the hand strength to hold the gun properly Big Grin

That can be debatable I seen both but they are the top two .

One or the other might be number one on any given range day

You and your attorney buddies are dimwitted nutjobs who need a good slap upside the head. Same with the creep that killed that moose. That guy provoked that moose. Anyone with half a brain knows that when facing a moose like that the appropriate response is to back away/drive or run from the moose if on foot. Been there done that, once you retreat the moose sees the threat as gone. He kept advancing and provoking it. He is the one that forced the charge.

This guy was nothing more than a Glock happy, tacticool nitwit (like a few others around here) with a gopro and an attitude. You guys that think this was a justified DLP are mush heads.

It's obvious the rider provoked that charge and should be held accountable.


Huh? Roll Eyes

Dude, the Moose charged him twice on a clear snowmobile trail where the rider had a right to be. It was only when his spooky 'mouth noises' failed to scare the Moose away that the rider resorted to shooting him on the third charge.

I showed this YouTube clip to three attorneys, all of whom are hunters and competitive shooters, and two of them have been to AK, and the other to Africa.

Guess what?

All three said this guy's moose shooting was fully DLP-justified.

So I asked, hypothetically, what if some dipstick AK game-warden decided to charged this snowmobile guy with a DLP violation based on this video?

Response was, essentially: "said officer would get his keister shredded in court. Not a leg to stand on."

You might consider looking for an attorney with a little more knowledge of Alaskan laws as They are pretty simple to understand about DLP killings. It is not a stand your ground type of law.
" You make kill game animals in defense of your life or property if you did not provoke an attack ---- and if you have done everything else you can to protect your life and property"


Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

Even when hunting grizzly was still legal in Montana in the early 70s, any DLP killing of a grizzly was a horrible and expensive experience to go through. There better be powder burns on the bear and a few hundred stitches on you if you didn't want 5 figure fines and loss of hunting privileges forever.

While hunting black bear with my two sons in New Mexico one of the guide's father called a bull elk into camp with his hands. He said he used to use a cow call but changed after a bull pinned him against his truck. He said he came out all right, but needed some counseling ... Same situation with a grizzly might be a tad worse lol.

Chuck

All brought about the foolish notion that it is always the humans fault
