"Revolvers vs Bears – Survive an Apex Predator" Topic

"When it comes to venturing into the outdoors to either go camping, hiking, hunting, or to snap some dope pics for the ‘Gram (Instagram), we as gun owners like to debate the merits of firearms against apex predators. Whether it is the local meth head from the trailer park "cooking" in the State Park or a more likely encounter of a bear in the woods. What is your best defense?… A sidearm like a big-bore revolver or is it "Bear-Grade" pepper spray.

Pepper spray does work on most of the Bears you my encounter.

The trouble is not knowing which ones it doesn't work on.

Best to have a rifle which has enough stopping power.

Ghost Dog: You know, in ancient cultures, bears were considered equal with men.

Better not to kill bears, use the spray,

By the way, what does all this have to do with miniatures wargaming?

The difference between black bears and grizzleys is that black bear poop smells like poop…Grizzley poop has little bells in it and smells like bear spry !

Thanks

My expectation would be that a sprayed bear is a very annoyed killing machine and another encounter is imminent. The need for a proper rifle isn't just a convenience, but a necessity.

Probably true…
