Finally! A Bear Attack Thread!

[Zombie Steve]

... and a black bear, to boot. You don't see these often. Here's the poor fella's last photo.

Darsh Patel was walking with four friends through the Apshawa Preserve in West Milford in September when the black bear attacked.
Always hike with people slower than you are.

I laughed out loud at this thread title.

[Zombie Steve]

...and maybe shoot something other than a camera.

Oh, come on... I love these. What handgun would you want?

Last thing he said to his friends, "You guys can't out run a bear."



Last thing they said to him, "we don't have to out run the bear, only you."

[Zombie Steve]

Probably the fastest poor Darsh ever ran in his short yankee life, however...

[Zombie Steve]

Sorry if this seems insensitive... I don't know for sure if he was a yankee.

[Irving]

Kind of surprised at the terrible picture they used of him in the article. Poor kid.

Seriously. That's how I usually look at Warfle House at 2am after a full day of drinking...

I need to find a picture to give to my family in case this ever happens to me.

Dude looks like he should have been able to take a bear on.

[wctriumph]

LOL. Thanks.

[cfortune]

Going to hell for this but I wonder if his next action on his phone was going to be to post "1st" on some social media site...

[trlcavscout]

I tell my nephews that all the time when we are in bear country!

[Mtn.man]

Guess he couldn't get a Selfie with the bear.

Yes... Use the buddy system. Be prepared. Tell others where you are going, and leave a good lookin' picture for the news article.

[Ah Pook]

Kinda hard when your head is in the bear's mouth.

[Zombie Steve]

You know guys... I started this thread with the honest intent of getting in a good old fashioned caliber tard war and ain't none of you taking the bait.


10mm sucks. [Muaha]

[Mtn.man]

This is Tard:

Yeeesh. Rather hang out with the bear.

[UncleDave]

I think the bears name was chlorine.

[Ah Pook]

.38-55 ain't much use either. Still better than 10mm. [Coffee]

What caliber you suppose your teeth are?

I've seen this bear in Jackson Hole... no joke.

[buffalobo]

At least he now has some noteriety. First person killed by a bear in New Jersey. [emoji33]

[Bailey Guns]

Best thread in a long time!

This is an old clip but I still enjoy watching it.[ROFL1]

Holy crap! This man doesn't even need a man card. I hope he lived the rest of his life carrying one of the bear's teeth or claws on a necklace to show off.

I'll bite!! 338 WinMag for the win!!


And just in case that we were talking handguns...I feel safe with a 44Mag.

[cstone]

I'm surprised no one else has pointed out that soon after the police arrived, they shot the BLACK bear.

I demand justice for this bear of color!

Sorry, I just thought these were better than the obvious take out Indian food jokes.

It happened back in September, so I hope it isn't too soon. [Coffee]

[sabot_round]

Oh, I forgot!!

There is a saying in Alaska - If you carry anything smaller than a 44 Mag, you'd better file off the front post...So when the bear grabs it from you and sticks it up your ass, it won't hurt that much!!

As cstone likes to say,
Stay safe!!

You're opening up a new can of worms!! Now the black panthers, jesse jackson, al sharpton, eric holeder, and their racist cronies are gonna say that the "White Men" are targeting the black bears because they're black, and therefore try to ban the hunting of black bears.

[Big E3]

Is this turning into a thing about bears of color, now I know why polar bears don't get any love. I didn't know black panthers even liked bears of any color, let alone defend them.

[Hound]

Darwin award for sure.

[Irving]

So one of the other youtube videos after the bear fight one is this one. My wife is TERRIFIED of bears. She said she wouldn't do this, even for $50. Preposterous! I'd do it for free! Who's with me?

[Zombie Steve]

You fellas brought up something I haven't considered. So it's a foregone conclusion that if a black black bear is attacking me, I can't shoot it (clearly, that would be racist). What if it's a cinnamon black bear attacking me? Can I shoot it with my .44 mag awesomeness of the gods? Would the media hang me out to dry for being a speciesist?

[Zombie Steve]

I knew I had a pic of the griz Mr. Petersen bit / beat to death. Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole.

Ummm, no. Obviously that is the infamous Cinnamon Challenge.

[Zombie Steve]

We may start a new thread on the psychology behind the cinnamon challenge. A brazillion people tried it and I watched them suffer on Youtube... I want to do that! It will be funny!

[theGinsue]

First, I've been enjoying this thread, but...

Guys, I know it's easy to take the jokes down the "racism" line, but I realize that I'd probably take issue with that humor if I weren't white. Maybe we could just call it good on those jokes and find some new focus to joke about.

And, for the record, I'd be comfortable photographing that (or any) bear with my .45LC on my hip.

[Zombie Steve]

And by the way...

My, that elk is certainly in the Yuletide spirit; eh?!


I pity the poor schmucks that think this Christmas yard deer is up to par.

Yeah... I'd call that marginal. I'm more of a 20mm guy myself.

[sniper7]

Wow, I'd beat the shit out of my four friends in the afterlife for running away. All five of them could have easily scarred that bear off.

[cstone]

22 year old Darsh Patel and his four Rutgers student buddies...you see these guys scaring a bear? Maybe a Care Bear or Winnie the Pooh.

All five of them together might just out weigh the 300 pound black bear.

RIP Darsh. Thank for the photographs. Your parents will have to settle for a Darwin Award rather than that engineering degree they were hoping for from Rutgers.

RIP Smokey. You lost your life doing what bears do, eating berries, nuts, and small mammals.

[HoneyBadger]

Yeah... I'd call that marginal. I'm more of a 20mm guy myself.
I'd prefer 45mm automatic. ;)

[Mtn.man]

.22 or even .25 shoot one of your buds in the knee, or all 4.

[HoneyBadger]

A good/lucky shot with a .22 could probably put down a bear. Either into the top of its mouth and into the brain box, or through an eye socket to scramble the gray stuff.

or it might just be really pissed off. [Abused]

[sabot_round]

Yeah... I'd call that marginal. I'm more of a 20mm guy myself.

Can we test-fire that thing before I leave? I'll buy the ammo!![Beer]

[sabot_round]

I'd prefer 45mm automatic. ;)

Where can I get one of those?[LOL]
