Girl calls mom while being eaten alive by Bear and her cubs...

What kind of guns are you guys carrying in the woods to take down a damn bear? I heard desert eagle being bandied about, are people actually carrying that monstrosity around?

id wonder how much damage some hollow point bullets would do to a bear.

Honestly, I think a shotgun would be a better choice overall for defense against a bear. Now if you're hunting a bear, totally different story.
 
[quote name='mr_burnzz']I felt a little sick reading the story and once I read the posts here, I seriously got disgusted by some of you. I know it's just some story some place far away but chill out. This girl faced one of the worst deaths imaginable and to ridicule her is just not right.[/QUOTE]

dude, i know, this story is totally true... the bear called me while it was eating her.... texted me pictures even..........


people are so damn gullible... its not a real story... wouldnt the girl call while the bear was eating her dad and she was running away.... not to mention she would be out of breath from running so couldnt have conversations on the phone... unless she stood still and watched while the bear was eating her dad.... plus... the bear would have dragged her to the cubs.. not go get the cubs and return and possibly having to fight off something else

The ferocity of the average bear is being slightly exaggerated in this thread. My buddy is half indian and pretty much can hunt whatever or whenever he wants. He's a little crazy but I remember him telling me he and his father have killed bears bow hunting and muzzle loading. I'm assuming black bears (not grizzly) but if you shoot them in the right area they'll fall.

Yeah, but the problem is getting them to pose right.

If you read this article by the Alaska parks service, you'd want something like a 12-gauge shotgun or .300 mag rifle. I reckon a .44 mag pistol might do the trick too.

You are allowed to carry a gun for protection in state parks. Remember, though, that more people are hurt by the guns they carry than are hurt by bears. Select a gun that will stop a bear (12-gauge shotgun or .300 mag rifle) and practice firing it at a rifle range. Any bear shot in self defense must be salvaged and turned over to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

why did they kill the bears? not to sound insensitive, but it's not like they were eating her to be evil. only reason to make sense to kill them is if there was reason to believe they were rogue animals (animals that knowingly prefer to hunt humans rather than their natural food), which is possible.
 
[quote name='The Crotch']Heh. You say that you can hold your own in an argument, Morph, but you forgot to give me something to argue against. I don't see anything in your post I disagree with at all. With a hungry, aggressive brown bear, you either have a means of intimidating it, killing it (and about the only option there is indeed a gun or guns), or you're fucked.[/QUOTE]

Oh, I understand that. Glad to hear you confirm it. But that's why I didn't respond to your original post. It didn't sound so balanced of a post. And I really didn't want to argue over such a dumb subject (over the internet, no less).

While there have been reports of grizzlies being brought down by a single shot from a .22, I'm not sure I believe it and I'm certainly not sure I would rely on it being a defense. Most likely you would tick the beast off more.

Like I said before, a .357 or even a .44 wouldn't be hard to lug and are rather economical options. Make sure it's hollow point, whatever you use. If you're a gun enthusiast and have money to burn and want to lug a heavy-a* "handgun" around, the Desert Eagle .50AE is marvelous. I would go with a modifiable DE that can have parts swapped to fire .357, .44 or .50. The .50 rounds are around $40-$50 for 20 rounds I believe. So being able to primarily use smaller caliber rounds is a benefit.

I wouldn't personally recommend a shotgun though. Seems to me it could put a hole in a bear at close range, but who wants to wait till close range? Also, I think that would make it mad and it would still be able to fight for a while. [I want to use something that 1) puts a hole in the thing's head 2) shreds the brain instead of exiting clean.] At far range, it's going to be a bunch of buck shot pelting him over a wide area. He/she will run from you chucking rocks because that's freakin' annoying. But a bunch of spread out bb's pelting him are going to sting like a mother and you are going to turn from pest to threat and if a bear has the wrong temperament, you've probably invited a charge. Stupid. Get something that will drop the beast and only use it if you have to.


BTW, my earlier post was done while I was tired. I just re-read it. I don't know what I was thinking when I said I was almost trampled by a white tail buck. It was a mule deer. A lot different...

Protip: Read the thread.

This has been answered numerous times. Of course bears aren't evil. You make it sound like they were killed out vengeance, which is ridiculous.
[quote name='MorPhiend'][quote name='Soodmeg']Is this really true? I have almost wondered what the hell the reasoning for this was.[/QUOTE]
Yes. There are two issues at hand when any animal (especially carnivorous/omnivorous) kills a human. 1) They learn that they don't need to be afraid of humans (pretty much all wild animals are by instinct) and 2) if necessary, humans make for a possible food supply. And #1 leads to more of #2. So once an animal has killed a human, for the future safety of people, the majority of the time they need to be put down. It has nothing to do with vengeance or anything stupid like that.[/QUOTE]

EDIT2:
And someone mentioned a recent bear attack and someone suggested they were thinking of one where the story was retracted. I don't know, I was thinking about this story:

THIS is why I dont camping. I dont want some bear coming over my house and sitting my my couch while we have some trout on the grill and Im sure he doesnt want me coming over and stealing his damn fish out his stream! dont fuck with nature.
 
And I still think not too many bears would try to eat you if you were willing to set your own arm on fire.

It was a poor simile; I don't recommend using it.
 
The only positive I can take from this is that it takes a long while for a bear to eat you. You still have a small chance.
 
This story horrifies me to the bones, but to see all these "joking" comments makes me question the CAG community. Its really quite sad.
 
TheCrotch, I was wondering. Since you've heard all these stories about bears in your line of work have you heard of any men successfully wrestling a bear and managing to break one of it's arms? I would love to hear that story if possible. I'm also hoping it's from the Gay community that calls itself "bears". I know WHY they call themselves that but if you're not muscular enough to take down the animal that that name represents you have no right to use that moniker in my opinion. The animal that has that name is badass and you disrespect them when you name yourself that if you're not close to it's equal.

I... what? No. Jesus. No.
 
Very tragic story to say the least. Surprised that the girl was able to call three times WHILE being eaten and mauled, the bears really must have been taking it slowly with their meal. Horrible though, although I don't understand why people camp in the woods. There is a reason cities and houses and walls were built: so outside elements and huge animals can't EAT YOU!?

I am still hoping it was a joke news story because its is really screwed up. I also am disappointed in the thread content, we didnt even get off the first 10 post before people were joking about it.

I am as stone hearted as the next internet user but I save it for dumb people doing dumb things...not horrific tragedies were people die in the worsts ways possible. (Hopefully its fake but until proven otherwise I will take it as real)

If I ever see a drunk driver who parked on top of 2 kids in a mini I will make sure to make fun of them.

Ahahaha Soodmeg. Always the first guy to disrespect a celebrity after death, he's now a staunch defender of Darwin award recipients. If the lady calling her mom had been Angelina Jolie you know this fucker would be posting diatribes wondering what the big deal is.

that's why you should always have guns when you're in the wild, better to have the park ranger reprimand you then get chased down by a hungry bear and its family
