Bear meat is yery good! (Black bear)

Is it dangerous? Why do guides carry a big gun? Its so that if you make a bad shot and the guide unfortunately has to pursue the wounded, pissed off bear into the tangle of brush he just ran into.
So the answer is yes it is dangerous if you make a piss poor shot, no its not dangerous if you practice alot and God willing you make a good shot.

Then again if you hunt one with a knife only.......................................

Get the picture? Good luck- By the way, do you carry life insurance?
