i second that opinion! a few years back 2 brothers were camping here in az. on the indian rez. went to bed on cots for it was nice out. next thing the one guy knows he is being sucked off the cot by a fairly large black bear. his bro grabs his ruger .41 cal. and puts bear to sleep. this is now a RUGER FIREARMS AD!
have camped as recently as july in bear country. campsite in utah had the bear boxes mentioned above. we were the only ones there over july 4 weekend. as we unpacked in the rain i decided to hike around a little bit. not 50yds from camp...............BEAR SCAT! well that brings back memories of backpacking the olympic peninsula(bears lots of), and we go into bear mode. cook in one set of clothes, place in bear box, all food in bear box. ice chest in shell, burn all garbage, brush teeth 100yds away etc.
in the olympic peninsula had one back pack torn into one night and we had hung everything in tree. no munchies sweets nothing and they still went after pack.
and now the clincher.....................hold onto your seats folks. friend of mine was head of homicide for anchorage P.D.. one day they get frantic call that hikers had found shredded body. they go out to site in boonies and find shreds of human. guy had gotten DEAR JOHN letter from g/friend and had smothered himself in SALMON EGGS head to toe!!!!!!!! SUICIDE BY BEAR!
i about flipped on that story! what a VISUAL!
moral to story.............12 gauge shotgun (HK perferably) first round #6 birdshot(hopefully they will split and or be blinded) next round triple odd magnum 3" buckshot, next 3" federal or breneke magnum slug repeat to fill tube. shoot first round birdshot to blind and or scare away, next round aim for chest, then leg to slow down if on a frontal running attack(and they is fast).
to show how stupid we were as kids, we used to go to the pinetop dump and shoot black bears and everything else with our pellet rifles, thats were we found out how fast they can run after being hit in the ass! man were we stupid kids!
chumming for sharks is no different than chumming for bears!
