Father Shoots Grizzly

put up a fence if you don’t want animals in your yard

I don’t care about the “why” a grizzly bear is in your yard and neither should you. It’s simply not germane to the point. Why is this guy being prosecuted??? Why are they wasting tax dollars (can’t even ask that question in today’s society without it being heavily rhetorical).[/quote]

I’m not talking about from the guys pov I’m talking about the investigators pov.

Since when does the media not blow it all out of proportion?

Investigation? what exactly is that? Asking him a few questions or trying to find out if the bear was a “nuisance bear” or if it was diseased?

Like I said if the family is in danger then yes justified in shooting and killing.

I don’t think bozos care. There is a dead bear here Push. Dead.

You can hardly imagine how infuriating it is to see a bunch of city boyzzz sitting around theorizing about how a man on the Idaho/British Columbia border should have “called animal control” while three grizzlies fuck around in his yard, near his kids, pigs and property.[/quote]

Yes I want to live in the wild were there are no dangerous predators too. lol
You know these kind of stories will keep the city slickers out of the woods right?

City slickers live with their own dangerous predators running rampant.

Hello, Camden!

Hey maybe if you shoot them when they’re in your yard, because they were going after your kids, you can say it was self defense and no one would investigate. :wink:

They’d believe you.

I guess Tatiana should’ve called “animal control” instead of her mom. sneer

WOW, that is some story. Thanks for posting.[/quote]

An insane story. Shit, I would at least attempt to gauge their eyes out, or something.

Not sure what the standard protocol is in defending yourself/loved ones against a bear… but my guess is anything that solves the problem is a solution.

If I were a little more tech savvy, the part where gizmo gets a little too close would be a great “Come At Me Bro” meme.

I understand why push is so upset about this. The last time a grizzly wandered into his yard he had a new rug made.

So you’re superior because your wife beater has chew stains and your truck has a gun rack? Seriously? This whole ‘fuck the city boyzzz’ attitude is just making you look like a fool.

You see, as a member of an educated society, we like to analyze things from all angles. An ability to reason and problem solve is what makes us human… that being said, the toughest decision you had to make is whether to buy Busch or Miller at your local Walmart.

He may or may not have been in the right here… but as Tex Ag pointed out, the story doesn’t really add up. Going out, guns blazing should never be the first option… Especially when we have to kill such a magnificent creature.

You have to understand a rule book before you can analyze strategy. Clearly you don’t understand large, wild predators. They don’t play chess and hesitation equals death. That’s all the analysis a smart man needs.

So sez the Illinoise Kid.

Who are you to determine what that man should have done in defense of his family and property?

The only thing that needs “adding up” is that three of the most notoriously unpredictable killing machines on the face of the earth were in the front yard of a residence of a man that had kids present and hogs in the pen.

BTW, my wife beater only has bear blood on it. I lay my rifles on the back seat of my pickup. My handgun rests on the hump of the floor.

The educated society that you claim to be a member of apparently contains a fair number of folks who are geographically challenged. You can do no problem solving of this sort from the comfort of Chicago apartment; in other words you need to get out more if you want to claim “educated society” status, Leonardo.

My toughest alcohol choosing challenge is between Redbreast Irish whiskey and Pendleton Canadian whiskey and Walmart sells no hard liquor in Montana either.

And believe it or not, THE “magnificent creatures” were the man’s children. Merely bringing them in the house temporarily would not protect them against return visits by the bears.

You mull this over while you ride the subway tomorrow and musing about how “educated” you are about how an Idaho man should protect his family and property, sport.[/quote]

This whole post, point by point, just reinforced exactly what I was stating.
