Sometimes the bar, he gets you.

Seriously, though, that's just heart-wrenching.

HAWT!!
 :catroar:

And yes; certainly horrible. I would have been hitting the bear with my phone. A friend from Slovenia was in the military during the Kosovo war and they had to sleep in the mountains on many an occasion. There were some horrible bear stories. And one or two bullets is not enough.

In Bear Attack, Hunter Killed Hunter, Autopsy Shows
By JIM ROBBINS
September 24, 2011

It turns out that the hunter in Idaho who the authorities thought was killed by a wounded grizzly bear was actually shot by his young hunting companion, who was trying to kill the bear, an autopsy has revealed.

Steve Stevenson, 39, died on Sept. 16 when he was shot in the chest once by his 20-year-old hunting companion, Ty Bell, officials said. The two men, both from Winnemucca, Nev., were tracking a grizzly bear they had wounded in rugged country on the Idaho-Montana border, thinking it was a black bear, the surviving hunter said.

After they shot it, they waited for a short time for the bear to die, and then went into thick forest to find it, the survivor said.

As the two men looked for the 400-pound bear, it charged them, and both hunters raised their rifles as it came toward them, Mr. Bell recounted. “They both shot it, and it kept coming,” Mr. Stevenson’s mother, Janet Price, told the Associated Press.

Mr. Stevenson, a miner, called out to divert the bear from attacking Mr. Bell, and it turned toward him instead, Mr. Bell has said. As the bear mauled Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Bell recounted, he shot it several more times and killed it.

One of those shots, however, also hit Mr. Stevenson in the chest and killed him, according to a medical examiner at the Montana State Crime Lab. In addition to the gunshot, there were bite marks on Mr. Stevenson’s leg.

The shooting of Mr. Stevenson remains under investigation by the Lincoln County attorney, and the killing of the grizzly bear, an endangered species, is still under investigation by the federal authorities.

Peregrinator,
You are given credit in these parts for being semi-sane. By contrast, the Earthfirster-types ought to be required to live in cold, dark caves.

Thanks, I think. I'm no fan of EF! They were supposed to be making everyone else look moderate, and succeeded in making everyone look like lunatics.
 


A local PBS station showed a 2010 documentary last night that was made by Montana public television on the horrifying 1967 attacks at Glacier Park:

I'll never forget that story as long as I live. Shortly after the event, Sports Illustrated did a long feature article on it. Believe me, that article made an impression.


The documentary is very well done. It is astounding to see the Park Service's "management" of human-grizz interactions back then. Anybody who knows anything about bears will immediately understand that a bear attack was not a matter of "if" but "when." The Park Service basically trained bears to perceive humans as food sources.

Bear Kills Calif. Man In Denali National Park
by The Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A hiker in Alaska's Denali National Park photographed a grizzly bear for at least eight minutes before the bear mauled and killed him in the first fatal attack in the park's history, officials said Saturday.

Investigators have recovered the camera and looked at the photographs, which show the bear grazing and not acting aggressively before the attack, Denali Park Superintendent Paul Anderson said.

The hiker was identified late Saturday as Richard White, 49, of San Diego. He was backpacking alone along the Toklat River on Friday afternoon when he came within 50 yards of the bear, far closer than the quarter-mile of separation required by park rules, officials said...

Wow. Ms. Stafford probably owes her life to incredible self-control, will power and self-discipline.


 
I saw a bear while hiking in the catskill mountains when I was a teenager. Scared the living crap out of me. Luckily he didn't see us from across the clearing. Or if he did, he didn't care enough to chase us.

After slowly backing out of visual sight, we ran, and ran, and ran. I've never ran that far that fast in my entire life.

Most bears here in the NE are like huge raccoons. You were in little or no danger, unless you irritated it somehow.

That said, every single time I see one I throw a PVC or two.

I wish I would have known that at the time.

And in case you didn't know, I've been called irritating before. :D
