Wouldn't dare use a bow mag in that situation, couldn't risk the exploding tip knocking the damn tree down with you in it

My dog went on point at a stump while we were out grouse hunting. Walked up to it and looked inside and it was a fucking black bear. Soon as it saw me it launched out of it and took off. I about shit myself.

This is about as believable as the guy who was hunting at a petting zoo in northern Saskatchewan and had a bear climb the tree right behind him but didn't have a video to prove it.

This is one of the bigger reasons I wanted a cc permit, for bow hunting. F bears.

Its nice that you can express these fantasies in a public way


Wouldn't call it a fantasy, but showing a bear who's in charge, while throwing devil horns and jamming to Skynyrd would be pretty boss.

YEAH......thats what I love about you Jarbo, your can do attitude.

Having actually seen wild bears, shot a bear, etc...I think even a bad ass ninja like yourself, no disrespect, would shake like the little bitch we humans are when you get around them.

I see it more like you bent over a stump, deliverence style, skynard playing, and the bear doing all the pumping. No devil horns.

Sorry Brah. You are not the boss. The bear is the boss, and always will be.

I would face that bear the same way I have faced every other challenge in life, face to face with a grin, ain't no way a bear is going to take me down and if he did there would be no wounds in my back. I shake after a fight but never during one, slow motion

Can I have your autograph?

You really need to get 8.5 x 11" color copies of that picture of you with the caveman hair printed up, and sell those with your autograph on them.

What am I thinking? I work in a print shop....

A guy goes bear hunting and sees a bear. He takes a shot and misses. The bear walks up and says "You just tried to kill me". The guy says "No I didn't, my gun went off by accident". The bear says "Yes you did. Now your gonna pay for it." So the bear bends him over a stump and has his way with him. Finaly, the bear walks off, and the guy picks up his gun, shoots at the bear and misses again. The bear comes back and says "You just tried to kill me again." The guy says, sobbing "No, I swear, I dropped the gun and it went off by itself" The bear says " Bend over the stump again." After the bear is done, and he's walking off, the guy gets his gun and yells " I'm gonna fucking kill you you sonofabitch." He shoots and misses again. The bear comes back and says " You didn't come here to hunt did you?"

Lol

An atheist in the woods:

An atheist was walking thru the woods one day, enjoying all the sighs and sounds when he stumbled upon a grizzly. The bear charged at the atheist, knocking him down. It then stood up and lifted it's paw to the sky. "Oh God, HELP ME!" screamed the atheist. All of a sudden, everything went silent. Nothing moved, not even the leaves on the trees. Then a bright light shown and a great voice came from above "All your life, you have talked bad about me, ridiculed my followers, denounced my blessings and abused my creations. Now, in your time of need, you call to me?" The atheist replied "I cannot lie, it would be wrong of me to expect more for me, but could i ask you to make this bear follow your ways?" thinking he had found a way out.
"Very well." Said the voice.
All of a sudden the noises came back to the forest, the bear lowered it's paws, bowed it's head and said "lord, thank you for this food which I am about to receive..."

I don't know about your state laws but, here in Oregon, you don't have to have a concealed carry permit to strap iron on your hip in full view.
I never carry a side arm. I'd say the most dangerous thing in the woods is other people, not animals.

for bear, you don't need it. For deer in bear country, you need it.

Pure stupidity. Why dont you go outside and shoot a tree with a .357 and see what happens. Then take that "carnage," reduce it by half and then you will understand the power of a bow mag.
