That would leave me with more than bloody wounds, I'd have some major poop stains all over what clothing that would be left.

My "Guns" ain't what they used to be, and I couldn't fight off a wet noodle, much less a grizzly bear!!

As I read that I had a hardtime wondering why two {seasoned hunters} or whatever the paper called em would be sleeping in Grizzly country with there guns not loaded? I know,I know it's not safe BUT....I bet there wishing now they would have had them loaded or atleast one of em. I would not be caught in Grizzley country UNPREPAIRED for the worse at ANYTIME day or night asleep or awake.That bear probably heard them two in that tent wiggling around and figured it was a rabbit under the snow.lol Not a good visitor to have "dropping" in on you.

I would have had several things set up too so I'd know Gentle Ben was around. Just not that hard to do. Evidently they thought they had one chambered but?? How could you not know? I sleep light even in black bear country. One of their paws can rip a tent wide open and you too in one small swipe. In some places laws is laws as far as what you are allowed to have in the way of protection but they become quite meaningless and very useless when weighed against your own survival. BEARS CAN'T READ!

I have seen 5 gal. food storage barrels at shelters on the Appalacian Trail ripped apart. And it's just good sense to carry there also. Anything 357 and higher could save your life. Might break a law but could save your life. There's been two deaths by black bears around here I know of in the past couple years and quite a few home invasions. Once they loose fear of people they are dangerous. Accidentally get between a Sow and cub and you really have a mad bear to contend with. What you can climb she can too.

I guess I'd make someone in the bear world a happy meal, cause I can't run, can't climb, and just barely walk. I may ought to stay out of bear country, unless I have a packing guide like trapper guarding me!

The preacher went out a huntin', it was on one Sunday morn' It was against his religion, but he took a shotgun along He got himself a mess a' mighty fine quail and one old scraggly hare And on the way home he crossed the path of a Great big grizzly bear
Well the bear got down lookin' ready to charge The preacher never seen nothin' quite that large They looked each other right smack in the eye Didn't take that preacher long to say bye The preacher he run till he spotted a tree He said "up in that tree's where I auta be" By the time that bear made a grab for him The preacher was a sittin' on top a that limb Scared to death, he tuned about He looked to the sky and began to shout,
Chorus; Hey lord, you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den You delivered Joana, from the belly of the whale and then, The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace so the good books do declare Hey lord, if you can't help me, for goodness sake don't help that bear
Ya, look out preacher Well, about that time the limb broke off and the preacher came tumblin' down Had a straight razor out of his pocket by the time he lit on the ground He landed on his feet right in front a that bear and lord what an awful fight The preacher and the bear and the razor and the hair flyin' from left to right
Well first they was up and then they was down, the preacher and the bear runnin' round n' round The bear he roared and the the preacher he groaned, he was havin' a tough time holdin' his own He said Lord if I get out a here alive, to the good book I'll abide No more huntin' on the Sabbath day, come Sunday I'm headin' to the church to pray Up to the heavens the preacher glanced, he said Lord won't you give me just one more chance So the preacher got away, he looked around seen a tree where he'd be safe and sound Jumped on a limb, turned about, looked to the sky and began to shout
Hey lord, you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den You delivered Joana, from the belly of the whale and then, The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace so the good books do declare Hey lord, if you can't help me, for goodness sake don't help that bear
