I've always wondered about this. If you have a non-hunting member in your party, what would be the effectiveness of carrying a shotgun loaded with 00 buck?If you’re convinced you need a handgun for bears, you should probably be carrying a good shotgun you’re competent with.
This grizzly bear had no issue with crossing a hose.I carry a rope. When I go to sleep, I use it to form a circle around my tent. A grizzly bear will never cross the rope.
To be truly safe, you carry so much protection that you're too tired to go hunting the next day and you stay homeI've always wondered about this. If you have a non-hunting member in your party, what would be the effectiveness of carrying a shotgun loaded with 00 buck?
In the end, he had a stent put in. His biggest worry over the past 3 years is surviving colon cancer. And he's been diabetic since his early 20s. All I know is that he got bounced from a horse, hit his head, and 2 weeks later they were putting a stent in his head. Im not a vascular surgeon, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.Aneurysms are not all one flavor in cause or how they ultimately cause morbidity and mortality. Cerebral, coronary, aortic, and other aneurysms are all a bit different. Sounds like your family member has a collagen disease of some kind, which seems pretty scary to not know when something might happen.
In regards to the horse accident, head trauma causes epidural and subdural hematomas, not aneurysms, though you can get traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhages. Cerebral aneurysm formation is linked to cigarette smoking, genetics, alcohol use, and hypertension (among other things) and aren't fully understood, but are not linked to head trauma. Rupture of cerebral aneurysms is another part of the process, and causes subarachnoid hemorrhage. Linking bear spray to the horse accident is one thing, clearly causative, but linking bear spray to a horse accident to head trauma to aneurysm formation and then aneurysm rupture weeks later is a far different thing that is really inappropriate. Could the friend have had a traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage? Possibly, but he would likely have had symptoms of that before the deer stand incident.
*kicks soap box into next county*
Sorry about your friend cornbread, I hope he's doing okay.
Plenty of sign. But no bear. Great time, beautiful drainage, and the toughest hike of my life. 2000 feet in 3/4 of a mile with a pile of crap on my back. At age 57 I just think of it as a challengeGood luck. Share some pictures!
LOL not sure why he carries itWhy was he carrying spray in CO? I carry my pistol here when I'm not hunting with a rifle, but that's more for the meth heads in the parking lot, not the bears...
