I was going to mention something similar but I couldn't let an opportunity pass to riff on the BAAAEEEYYYEEERRR NOOOOOOO theme of this thread. Watching the vid, I first assumed the guy was hunting the bear. Then, looking at the bow and arrow setup, I was like, "God, I hope that dude isn't going to shoot a bear with those?" The guy must have been hunting grouse or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy must have been hunting grouse or something. Yeah, I think I read something posted by the guy in the video that he was just out after grouse or such sized game. I wouldn't trust that bow for black BEAR (Happy, @Sturgeon?) If I had a perfect shot with my 55 pound recurve within twenty yards with amazing arrows and the bear was tied down and I had 5 friends taking aim with rifles behind me if I missed, then maybe I'd give it a whirl.

Dear lord. I appreciate a good BAAAEEEYYYEEERRR NOOOOOOO!!! social media mention as much as the next man. But if you're getting chased by a bruin, Tweeting is the last thing you should do. Anchorage. *sad head shake*.

All I had was a glorified rape whistle, but it did the trick. Looking back, that was one of the scariest moments of my life. And only the fifth time I nearly died during that race. Bears are fast. I believe the common description is that they can outsprint a horse. If you're on a gravel road (MTB or CX bike) just out on a group ride, depending on pitch you could only be doing 17 mph average. Glad he's alive. I don't trust "Bear Bells" because they don't make a ton of sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we always load one or two "cheap" rounds in our guns to use as noise makers in case we need to scare a bruin off. Also TFB needs to hire this kid to teach Patrick R the proper way to cycle a pump gun under pressure... *sips Hudson Bay tea* *Evil grin* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
