My old boss killed a polar bear with a bow and arrow. He had a native with a rifle as a backup. He has the bear fully mounted in his realty company in Wisconsin.
He was gored but an elk that they raised on their farm and survived that. The most badass guy I know who wasn't in the military that got shot at
I was walking back to fish camp up in Alaska in my fish smelling rubber suit ( I cleaned fish ) and I saw a brown bear trying to hide behind little tiny trees. I sat down on a rock and realized all I had was a little tiny fillet.knife.
The bear finally left and I started walking back to camp.
Then the bear appeared again and stood up. This time I yelled at it and it ran off.
Meanwhile there was a guy above flying an airplane circling and watching to see if I was gonna get attacked.
I got back to camp and he had landed and told everyone about it so it wasn't a secret.
It was a very small brown bear variation a glacier bear they called it and when I told them I actually had my hand on my wimpy fillet knife everyone laughed.
I have been underneath a large black bear who really wanted to kill me……thank the gods for good bear dogs, I have had large male lion charge me up a game capture chute…thank gods for steel drop doors on transport trailers, I have been thrown over the head and then trampled by large range bulls…thank gods for heavy willow thickets,…..I never really honestly ever missed a beat….but as I age and my body reminds me of mortality……I become less flippant
This is still such an incredible story. For those that have never been up close to a grizzly or brown bear they are such an intimidating animal! Just such a massive bear.
