All these people posting their pieces like it's needed for this sort of thing. Dog gone it, people are more dangerous than black bears. I've scared them away before, just by throwing twigs. The idiot probably ran and was too afraid to even punch the thing.

It's pathetic to say 'I killed a blackbear in self defense". Maybe if it was a rapid mother infected with rabies but statistically speaking the odds of this occurring are pretty low. I usually take a handgun with me into the woods but not for black bear defense. I mean really, statistically speaking, how many healthy people are usually killed by blackbear in the US/Canada in a given year? Usually less than 1.

Polar bears/ grisly on the other hand..... Much more dangerous.

In the case of poor Mr Patel, it was a case of his "friends" not having to outrun the bear, they just had to outrun poor Mr Patel!

Whether Bear, Mountain Lion, Rattlesnake, or two legged critters, I have never had to use more than:

AntiCritter1:



or (if that doesn't work),

AntiCritter2:



With a little 147gr Federal Hydrashok loaded about +P+. My 9mm tank can handle anything you feed it!

The bear probably killed him because it couldn't take the reek.

If you look up the statistics, more people are killed/mauled by black bears than any other in North America

 

[unfound]

Mucks right.....I spend countless hours in bear habitat. statistically black bears are not so timid. 1911 American classic 2 has my back if ever the need befalls me. I refuse to be a statistic !!!

Dunno about the guy that got ate,
but this guy is a real man.

A Minnesota man managed to kill a 525-pound black bear with a knife after the injured bear attacked a group of hunters early Saturday morning.

KARE11.com reported that the group, which hunts every weekend from September to December, hit the bear with a bow and arrow earlier in the evening. But the bear was not fatally wounded. The hunters, considering the ethics and the meat, decided to track the bear, using its trail of blood as a guide.

They found the bear on the ground and assumed it was dead. But the bear, still bleeding from its wound, managed to charge at one of the hunters and mauled him.

"All of a sudden I heard him screaming," Craig Lindstrom, one of the hunters, told the news station. "Literally screaming, screaming and you knew he was being mauled."

The attacked hunter, who was not identified in the report, had a knife and was faced with few options. He began to plunge the knife into the bear about "20 times," Lindstrom told the station. The bear continued to maul the hunter's arm.

The bear died about 50 yards from where it was stabbed and it took 10 men hours to drag it back to camp, the report said. The hunter suffered two broken arms and various other wounds. He will undergo more surgery, the report said.

“We are going to mount that thing,” Lindstrom told the station. “So this will be another story. It just happens to be the biggest one.”

Great post BC. They didn't say his name but to his friends it must be MISTER Boone.
