Finally! A Bear Attack Thread!

[Irving]

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?

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

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!

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.

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.

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


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

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

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.

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.

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

I'd prefer 45mm automatic.

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