SO when bear hunters get mauled and shoot each other how are we suppose to defend our right to carry a gun.

We don't have the "right" to carry a gun, those deemed competent have the privilege to use a firearm, and its useless posts like these that make these accidents major issues for debate, just let sleeping dogs lie.

So are you the one doing the shooting or the one that got shot.You have to admit its funny that bear hunters are getting mauled by bears and then shoot each other trying to save thire buddys.You must be one the ones deemed competent to hunt bear.You will probably make a good snack.

From what I understand the bullet passed through the bear and into the guys leg.

Stars from Calgary flew the guy.

At at least he is alive and will heal up.

One thing for sure is that there are many people out in the woods around Fernie. When I go mountain biking there, we see the odd grizzly from time to time.

They tend to get used to humans, if you make noise, they usually stay away. Hunters do the opposite. Right now they are foraging, getting ready to hibernate, so they are a little more dangerous.

To get into a situation with an animal (males can weigh up to 1500+ pounds) that large, things can go wrong in a hurry. I am sure he didn't spend a lot of time taking aim..

If I was in that situation, I would have no problem taking friendly fire to prevent this beast from mauling me to death.

My son/ hunting partner and I had this discussion last night. If I were being mauled by a grizzly, I would expect him to shoot it. Just hoping he has better luck than the mentioned fellow. And I agree JJack is the new willy.

That's great that you discussed this with your son,but did you talk about how to shoot the animal.You cant stand back and let one fly that's how people get shot.You have to be ready when this happens.The person being mauled is depending on the other so what are you going to do.

I,m not going to tell you what you should do because I don't want to be responsible for you or son or any one for that matter.So make a plan make a back up plan and then have the right tool for the job.

I may be a azzhole but I,m not a total azzhole.

And agin I,m not willy and its not fair to willy to keep saying That im him.Willy worked hard for his status and I don't want any of his credit,I can piss people off all on my own

"Willy II",

You weren't there, so how can you judge anyone when you don't know the situation.

So a couple guys hunting elk stumble across a male grizz who probably had a fresh kill nearby or something similar and get attacked they turn into trophy hunters in the media?
When I grow up I hope I can be as cool handed as JJack and be able to shoot the eyes out of a bear rollng around on the ground with my hunting buddy.

You are judging the hunters involved.

If you weren't there, how would you know if he did the right or wrong thing?

Hindsight is always 20/20 "Willy II"
