Had a Huge bear encounter today, realised I am more dangerous.

Returning from a fishing trail walking to my car, I look ahead of me and a humongous bear is standing on the trail calmly between me and the parking lot,

For about 10 sec it was a standoff, both just standing, looking.

And then I calmly loosened my jacket like Yandu and started taking out assortment of weaponry I carry.

Bear ain't no stupid animal, he saw that I am a meaner beast and just turned and walked off the trail allowing me to pass.

I ain't stupid either I knew he was mere yards away being quiet. I passed by him very carefully ready to unleash hell.

Wanna know something funny, that same trail is walked by kids, young women jogging, old grannies.

I bet you very few of them are armed.

What can I say people are dumb overall. I bet you these people don't like guns.

How is 911 call gonna help them as they are dragged to death.

911 operator: make noise make noise

Dying jogger : tell my mom and dad that I love them.

Police telling family: there was nothing we could do, oh and we are reasonably certain we shot that particular bear.

Lol

Machoman wins again!
You believe what you want to believe about yourself and the bear.
I'm going to assume that the bear wasn't hungry.

(I really wouldn't have use such words if he'd have show some humility toward the bear.)



ETA: I guess my opinion stems from the death of the bear lover in Alaska a few years ago that was found half-eaten with an expended revolver at his side. --I should have never looked at the picture accompanying the story.

Really?

You're so bad that you made a bear back down...

Assorted weaponry, eh?

Hate to break this to you, but you got very lucky. Humongous bear was probably well fed, and not looking for trouble.

Had it been a momma bear with a cub? Or a grumpy old boar bear? You'd not have had the time to calmly lay out your vast array of weaponry.

Or dial 911 for that matter...

Shenanigans.

LMAO. "assortment of weaponry"
Exactly what were you gonna do if Mr Bear decided you looked like lunch? Other than run screaming while a large brown stain spread across your pants? What " weaponry" did you have that would stop a bear in his tracks? Just happen to have rocket launcher on ya?
There are plenty of forums for keyboard bad asses. This ain't one of'em.
ETA - i think I found you

What exactly is this vast assortment of bear slaying weaponry that you carry......in your jacket?

For many years I was a runner. What I discovered was this, I was never armed when meeting critters, was polite and gave way. Like you, I rounded a corner, came face to face with a big black bear. (this in a wilderness area I had a cabin). Did not get excited, so Mr. Bear went his way and i mine.

Now when you hear one following you as another time, he breaking down brush to catch me, take this seriously, I made it out to the main road quickly that day, stayed a while. Yes, his prints were overlaid onto mine.

This last was not supposed to happen. A cougar jumped out in front of me, I did not turn away or run further, stood my ground and tried looking bigger than him, he was big and did not exist, but try telling him that. The DNR claimed there were no cougars on Drummond Island. He stared at me, but finally decided to go his way.

Now gaters are another story, I have had my wife guard me when I worked on docks and boats in the water with them watching me, their brain is too primitive trust anything other than instinct to eat.

if indeed true, your lucky that fish and game aren't picking through bear sh@@ looking for pieces of you.
plus if you didn't call them and tell them that you saw a bear on the trial that is "walked by kids, young women jogging, old grannies" your not much of a responsible citizen.

shame, shame,shame

to complement your post.

Stop acting like a big man. You been out murdering fish and then have to use weapons to scare off a bear.
Well done!

Way to mock a new person. If you didn't like what he wrote you all could of just moved on. What does your mocking another human say about you?

a reply to: LostAndFound2

you come across to me like a complete *#@*&** .... kinda wishin the bear had taught you some humility ...

I just got back from running a double marathon (up hill-both ways) which I do daily for fun when I encountered a menacing Tyrannosaurs standing in my driveway.

After using my patented Chuck Norris hard stare and displaying my Victorinox (with the bottle opener attachment deployed) I was easily able to break his will and cow him into a state of subdued compliance.

He is now touching up the trim on my house but with his tiny frickin arms he is having a hard time reaching the upper stories. I may have to go outside and smack him around a bit to help motivate the brute.

if you believe the narrative, then you need to be mocked yourself, how gullible can you be.?
he may have seen a him a bear, but to post some horsesh@@ such as this,

And then I calmly loosened my jacket like Yandu and started taking out assortment of weaponry I carry.
Bear ain't no stupid animal, he saw that I am a meaner beast and just turned and walked off the trail allowing me to pass.

" like Yandu started taking out assortment of weaponry I carry. " trying invoke visions like in movies, like Mad Max in Thunderdome where he goes to meet Aunty Entity, and they tell him to leave his weapons here. he starts pulling out weapons for like a couple minutes, please, no one in there right mind would carry that many weapons. plus even if he did, about the most he could get away with if caught carrying in the woods, would be a firearm or two and maybe a couple of knifes.
"Bear ain't no stupid animal, he saw that I am a meaner beast and just turned and walked off the trail allowing me to pass. " i guaranty that yes "Bear ain't no stupid animal", and that a Bear is much more tougher and a meaner beast than he.
at best he is one lucky SOB.

a reply to: Tarzan the apeman.

It says I don't tolerate liars. You think I was too harsh? Let's examine the claim, shall we?
OP claims to have convinced a "huge bear", by sight alone, that he was a more lethal threat than a 400 lb, 8 ft tall, eating machine, that can kill a full grown, 1000 lb moose. But, he had an "assortment of weapons" in his jacket that would not only stop the attack, but make him to come out on top.
Now, OP is either delusional and needs a wake up call before he convinces himself he can actually do it and winds up as bear bait....or OP is a 12 year old, out to try to impress someone.
You decide.
