What happens if a G Bear claims your kill?

[Bigjay73]

My friend shot a sheep one time with his bow and they had to wait until the next day to go get it because it was gut shot.

When they got there a grizzly had claimed it.

His guide said, "watch this" and rode his horse right at the bear at full speed and ran the bear off long enough to be able to grab the horns.....

My buddy said it was the stupidest thing he had ever seen anyone do in his life and he tough wood shop at a public school so that's saying something. lol

Is it stupid if it works?

 

[Bigjay73]

Can't believe he thought it was stupid.
That cowboy has balls and saved the day! Never underestimate testosterone and a shot of ego.

I think that story is one of the most badass things I've ever heard tbh

I have the Udap one, taking it to Alaska tomorrow. I set it up the other day and the fence encloses an area about 27'x27', pretty good size for a tent camp plus 4 separate pee corners. I feel like 8 stakes would be much better than 4 for keeping the fence taut though...we'll see, I'll report back in a couple weeks, but hopefully we don't have to test it much!

"Pee corners" in an electric fence? Camping in the dark? No way that could go wrong! I might rather face the bear.

Talk about a lightening strike!

Fight it, be a man.

Think of how many times Timothy T. got away with it.
Just walk up there like it’s nbd and grab the meat.

How does TT get away with all that crazy chit and Todd Orr gets attacked on a hike? Wtf?

If this is was in Wyoming it's illegal. No matter how wounded it was, you killed it. When you left the kill site without filling your tag, you broke the law.

Well it wasn't so

We had an electric fence around our camp with grizzlies all around for years and never had a problem except for them annoying the horses. No idea how many joules.

The horse was a badass for sure. mtmuley

Takes a special trust relationship of horse rider for a horse to charge a predator burned into its brain. I had a horse that had no issue cutting a bison where others went ballistic! Those are "keepers" that you trust with your life too. I feel fortunate to have had one.

I had a big bay gelding when I was growing up. We were buds. Never charged a bear, but he would do anything I asked of him. Like you said, fortunate. mtmuley

Like many things that have to do with bear safety, when everything is going as planned it’s not that hard.

Fence setup can be time consuming in tall grass and brush, unless you spend a lot of time clearing; otherwise the vegetation will draw too much current. Clear, rocky flats and you can’t get the posts staked very well. Not a big deal for a car or horse camp where a saw might be handy and you’re unlikely to move it. For a mobile backpack camp not the same. Still a great option to have absolutely, but it’s never as easy as it looks on TV…

That's a great reminder. I still haven't even set ours up in the yard yet

I’m playing it safe and not retrieving an obviously disturbed meat stash. If I get fined for wanton waste I’ll take that over potentially getting mauled by a grizzly. The amount of miles traveled to hunt, price of the trip, going home empty-handed, are not factors for me. Not worth my life.

Twice on one hike...that's just plain bad luck!

Just have to hope your aim is true...

I can tell you what’s gonna happen to this prick if I catch him. 6+ hr hike in and I was really looking forward to one of these last night..

All this hypothetical talk and we don't even know if Neffa can even kill an elk.

That's a definite maybe...

Lucky for Neff it’s WY, so there are bulls and 180” deer behind every tree, or so I’m told.
