Close call for this guy.

[ICEMAN]

Weird comments from the guy during his interview. He claimed he could hear it "eating his brain, and that he would be dead soon..." He also claimed he was fully prepared to play dead again next time... Crap, I would have said I will be fully prepared to unload all my  .460 rounds into the damned next one!

Just saw the news story on TV, that looked very painfull

Canadians cannot have pistols.  So they get to spray them with a product that works sometime or play dead.  Im with you iceman, 5 s&w 500 rnds between the eyes.  I hunted last year in Mt. with two guys who had to shoot one the year before. Shot with a 44 and didnt phase it. pretty awsome story.

Had a couple false charges and knew of two folks that actually got attacked, never had a chance to pull guns, Period.  One was sighted in on it and just couldn't get a round off because the fierceness of the attack, the other hit from about two feet away and didn't know it was there.  Too fast.  I think all the talk of pulling the gun and taking care of business is not reality at all.  Until you see the speed of these animals when in that mood, could you have had time to pull and react, doubtful, very doubtful.....

Ive said it before and i'll say it again....i have never seen an animal go from zero speed, to explosion of speed like a bear. Last year was an eye opener. And that was with an exploded heart! It dropped about 30 feet away..but stilll ......scary fast.

That would ruin your day for sure!

x2.  They are freaky fast.

I would keep that dog very close next time I go into the bush.

[BC CHASER]

Have any of you been charged?  I have and yes they are fast but it all depends on the person who is behind the trigger.  What a rush!

The dog around would have been better than the pistol, liklely still in the holster while the bear is chewing your head off
