They shouldve punched that cougar in the face instead of letting themselves get killed. They also couldve given it the rock bottom or the sweet chin music as well.

For real though, if you know youre going to be backcountry in apex predator territory its honestly really dumb not to have a firearm that can deal with the largest one.

Just listened to a story and this exactly what they recommend. Running away makes them think ur beta prey. Stare at him, make yourself BIG, and threatening. Lol ok

A couger will pretty much never attack head on unless its cornered. You basically only die if you are a bitch about it.

Yeah its like literally one of the only modern day legitimate no bullshit uses of a simple handgun is for poo poo like that. Watch enough videos of that poo poo happening (usually bears) and you'll want to be packin too. The last one I saw was some moron trying to stop a bear using a recurve novelty bow. He didn't survive, though the footage did. Quite a few videos out there with actual "found footage"

doesn't bear spray work and it doesn't make it more likely that you'll kill yourself or a family member

i present to u the glock twenty-nine, a compact bear mutilator



In case any nature types dont want to figure out what scary gun to buy for wildlife, there you go. load it up with some buffalo bore 10mm heavy and you'll have a pretty good chance of surviving north american wildlife across the entire continent.

hemale in pain posted:

Bear spray works, loud noises work (tin can with bolts in it), standing your ground almost always works (for bears). Until it doesn't. Bears tend to charge and will lay off at the last possible second - again, until they dont. It takes some serious stones not to shoot a charging bear.

That being said if owning a gun for wildlife endangers the user because theyre too much of a liability to shoot themselves or others then stick with the bear spray or just stay inside because thats where you likely are anyways

That looks hard to have a nice 5mile run with. Animal expert dude said pepper spray on a belt.

Bear spray is a total crapshoot based on the individual animal and the situation. Bears can and do shrug it off all the time.

A gun is still not a guarantee but better than some spicy spray.

Yep. Was about to edit that into my post. Spicy spray is totally defeated by a good breeze and I havent ever seen a person shrug off bear spray so now youre blind and in excruciating pain right before a potential mauling. Gud thymes.

The best part about that gun is after you unload its entire clip into a brown bear the brown might die an hour after its killed and eaten you so your face, located in the animals stomach, will probably still be indigested enough to be recognizable.

Your not shooting at it from a football field away. From 4 feet away. Wind had little affect on a bullet. Pepper spray cant defeat a strong breeze.
