Bear Hunt, Anyone?












Polar Bear Attack in the High Arctic





This is from up in the Yukon , this chap is lucky to be alive. The guy





survived the bear attack. The bear jumped on him while he was sleeping





in his tent and he managed to get it off of him and shoot it .





One tough camper!

Oh my GOD! [:-] That's insane.

RE: Bear Attack
 

Yeah, I got that in an email a while back. What happened to the pic of his ankle? Nasty stuff!!

RE: Bear Attack
 

Here's another couple:
Sorry its gross. I should have put that on the header.

RE: Bear Attack
 

And just think...Rob has been complaining about this ankle.[8D]:D;)

Thats pretty gruesome. My toes curled on the ankle pic.[:o]

RE: Bear Attack
 

holy crap

RE: Bear Attack
 

Wow... that is insane...

RE: Bear Attack
 

This is from a while back but no less gruesome today than it was then.

RE: Bear Attack
 

i think i might throw up.

RE: Polar Bear Attack
 

Holy crap, i wish i didn't just look at those

RE: Polar Bear Attack
 

RE: Polar Bear Attack
 

isssh [:'(]

WOW that would suck!

RE: Polar Bear Attack
 

Just one correction, that ankle shot is the same picture from police/firearm site and it was a shotgun blast. I think the site is called The GunZone that has it as a warning photo about mishandling firearms. Disgusting but not made by a bear. Take care.

RE: Bear Attack
 

my lord that has to be the toughest man alive. Its amazing that people can survive that sort of thing.

RE: Bear Attack
 

Poor guy. I guess its good to know that he got the bear and survived.

RE: Bear Attack
 

omg!

RE: Bear Attack
 

Ahh nothing a lil duct tape cant fix!


I guess KA would know, you play in a big bearskitchen you better be prepared for the worst at all times.

RE: Bear Attack
 

That story is several years old but still gruesome. Maybe with some salve and a good vet they can bring back both of them to running order[8D]

RE: Bear Attack
 

well, i think he was unethical. i mean, look how far back he hit the bear. should have waited for a nice quartering away shot.

also, i doubt he waited 12 hours to follow the blood trial like he should have . obvoius gut shot.

sheesh!

RE: Bear Attack
 

Thats Crazy that he survived, i wonder if he still goes bear hunting, and i cant believe he took that shot ither quartering away is the only ethical shot he should have taken!:eek: (yeah.)

Ryan.

RE: Bear Attack
 

Holy crap!! I'll stick to bambi thank you.

RE: Bear Attack
 

I was in the infantry long enough to know you always keep someone on guard duty while the others are sleeping... hunting dangerous game like this is no different... this was completely preventable imho... but ya, it sucks big time... bet they take a different route next time...

RE: Bear Attack
 

[/align]This is one of those things you wish you could unsee.

RE: Polar Bear Attack
 

OUCH. That hurts to just look at.


It looks to be all true except for someone else shooting it...and of course the ankle pic as nyorange pointed out.

RE: Polar Bear Attack
 

When I first saw the ankle picit threw up a red flag because no bear or animal could've done that kind of damage. Glad someone pointed it out and cleared it up or I'd've called BS.

OT- the link is a perfect example of how people re-mix everything into something different. At the top of the page it says a guy was attacked in his sleep then managed to get the bear off him then shoot it. At the bottom of the page, he ran, tripped over a rock, was pounced on,then a fellow camper shot the bear. :eek:

[bad joke]I've heard of gettin' away "by the skin of your teeth" but never the skin of your head.[/bad joke]

RE: Bear Attack
 

Ummm.... I think I am going to puke!

RE: Bear Attack
 

That last ankle picture made me hike my nuts up...... Lord it looks like he shot himself in the ankle before letting the bear have it....dude must have one hard head to take a mauling like that and not end up with a tooth in the brain.

RE: Bear Attack
 

Thats going to leave a mark!

RE: Bear Attack
 

Basically thats what one looks like after I find him tresspassing on my hunting ground. I guess the bear felt the same way. :DIt's the beat of a different drum guys, deer gospel 101.[X(]

RE: Bear Attack
 

HOLY CHITTTT!!!!!

I cant even imagine the pain and fright that guy went through......

RE: Bear Attack
 

Holy crap.

RE: Polar Bear Attack
 

Wow! I wonder if that camper will be able to walk again![:-]

RE: Polar Bear Attack
 

He is lucky that bear didn't take his head clean off.
