I was walking my dog this morning on Forest Service land in Montana’s Rocky Mountains. Dog and I met a grizzly bear. Everything turned out OK.
Dog and I are walking down a dirt road when I see the bear. It was about175 feet away in the middle of the road. It was looking at us. A grizzly. It had a hump in its upper back Dog had not detected it yet and did not put up a harangue.
I don’t have pictures. I was too busy preparing to do battle. I drew the dog close. And pulled the bear spray canister out of my coat. My eye was still on the bear.
So I turn around and started WALKING (not running) away from the bear with dog in hand (we look like a bigger opponent when together.)
My torso was turned when walking away so I could watch the bear. Bear took a few steps towards us. Then bear stopped and went up on its hind legs to get a better look.
Dog and I kept walking away. After about 10 seconds, the bear went down in all 4s and bolted in the other direction…away from us.
I watched my back all the way back to the truck! 🤠
Phased plasma rifles (in the 40 watt range) are Skynet's weapon of choice. It's a common joke in gun stores to ask if they have one in stock. If you're on friendly terms with the staff or the guy doesn't have a stick up his ass, the proper response is "hey, just what you see pal".
Likewise, if they have an Uzi hanging on the wall, you nod toward it and say "oozee nein millametah".
