That’s pretty close for what seems to be the bear’s attitude.
Nice teeth though. Nothing like a natural diet of sleeping bags filled with chewy centers.
Like a twinkie!
Yes like a twinkie, those kinds of twinkie’s have a strabary filling and a crunchy outside.
2nd amendment ftw.
The human did’t survive. Sony Cybershot did!!!!
bear chases man
man climbs up tree
bear climbs up tree
man takes photo
bear eats man
bear goes home and frames photo on wall
and then uploads to verydemotivational.com to show all his bear buddies
And we loved it!
that depends. a black bear will climb the tree, a grizzly will knock it down (depending on the size of the tree)
A grizzly couldn’t knock down that tree, or climb it. Not heavy enough, and too heavy.
More useful… yeah right. Because *just anyone* can not only use a high calibre rifle fast and accurately enough to take out a grizzly, but can do it from a tree. Unless you’re under the impression that you can kill a grizzly with a handgun, in which case get whoever’s reading this for you to explain why you can’t.
Not that the camera’s going to help him either, but at least there won’t be a wounded bear on a rampage afterward.
now thats a whole different ball park
does the ball park have bears in it?
Wrigley Field does. Cubs, anyway.
^WIN
Several people a year up here make that bet and lose.
NT – of course they lose… but lets say.. a 12ga shotgun at that range.. the bear would be missing half his face.. i think the point of the poster is that “given the situation (bear about to maul you) a gun would be more useful than a camera”… (as in, who would actually have the levity to take a picture at a moment like that)…
NT – comprehension FAIL!
If it’s a grizzly, you’d be fairly safe once you got up the tree. And the picture looks like a grizzly. I think the guy had better get a bit higher though, if he can.
Still, there are places and times where a dangerous bear encounter is likely enough that it would be prudent to carry a shotgun with slugs. Obviously, this would be useless to some people. Evolution has used the ability to use a firearm as a selective factor before.
.500 S&W……… .454 casull
i think those will finish the job.. I carry the the 454. had this happen to me the other day archery hunting with a momma black bear and cub with only a knife and a brown pile in my pants
Back in the 70′s a NYPD cop killed a bear with one shot from his .38 revolver. Personally, my bear medicine is a .454 Casull revolver with a 4” barrel backing up a Remingtion 870 loaded with slugs.
so you are trying to say that any type of firearm would be no more use than a camera when trying to save your own life from a grizzly bear? I can definitely say that I would feel that I would stand a better chance with something like a 44.Magnum revolver than I would with a digital camera (not to say i could kill the bear with a magnum but i think i would do alot more damage) Oh!….And if I had the choice I think if possible i would use a gappling mini gun with explosive rounds would to fix a grizzly bear!
Um, you can’t point those things down like that. They are mounted on top of a car, truck, van, etc. If the bear happened to pop out while you were manning the gun, it would help. If the bear started chasing you, and you climbed a tree, not gonna help. If you had one that wasn’t mounted to anything, it would be too heavy to aim or carry, and it would throw you out of the tree with it’s recoil.
Not to mention that they would also need a source of electricity to run the minigun.
If you think you can’t kill a bear with a pistol, even a .22 with a head shot, your wrong. don’t get me wrong, wouldn’t be my first choice, but a handgun would be miles ahead of no gun.
ditto
^^this
.
lucky shot through the mouth and into the brain might do some damage.
Hmm. I’ld say something along the lines of a 454 casull or 475 linebaugh with hardcast bullets would do just fine in taking out a brown bear. Easily.
Aiming with a half ton of angry six inches below your feet… that might not be so easy.
A 9mm will not kill a bear but 10mm or higher like my .40 will.
since when is a .40 more powerful than a 10mm?
since understanding of guns means .40 is the same as 40mm
.40 caliber means 4/10 of an inch bullet diameter. 10mm is closer to .50 caliber AE. Just sayin’.
in size a 10mm=.40 inches ITS THE SAME. in fact if you read the history of the 10mm you will notice that the .40S&W was derived from it,and some people call it the .40 “short and wimpy”
go look it up in wiki
While the diameters are the same, the rounds have very different terminal ballistics. The 10mm casing is only about .13″ longer but that gives it a very real boost in performance. The two cartridges are equal only when the 10mm is loaded lightly (ie target or practice charges). For my part, I use a ruger blackhawk 45LC with high pressure loadings and 300-ish grain hard-cast bullets.
My uncle on the sheep ranch killed a grizzly that tried to climb into the wagon with him using a .22 LR. Wouldn’t be my first choice, wasn’t my uncle’s either, but the bear was between him and the shotgun.
You’re completely forgetting shotguns.
I dunno, maybe something in a 45-70? .454 casul, S&W.500 10in barrels? you have a GREAT shot to the head from that angle.
you go right ahead and fire a .45-70 through a handgun with a 10 in. barrel, have someone take a video and put it up on youtube so we can all get a chuckle. Yes, you can get a .45-70 barrel for a TC Contender, but it’s just like the .30-06 barrel my brother has for his, it’s something you fire once out of curiosity, twice out of stupidity.
From that range, I have six reasons why I could absolutely kill a grizzly with a handgun, especially if it keeps it’s mouth open like that.
A tip for the future, handguns aren’t always small.
Smith and Wesson makes powerful handguns for precisely these sorts of situations. See here: http://www.survivaldigest.com/2008/04/bear-attack-survival-kit/
(What, you thought that the S&W 500 was for concealed carry? Silly panda!)
who said anything about high caliber, rifle, or fast?
just drop a grenade in his mouth
and TEEECCHCHHHNICACLLLYY a 50 millimeter pistol would be handheld?
well, no, since a 50 mm pistol is literally a cannon, since 50mm actually describes the width of a round. 50 cal. on the other hand, yes
shoot it in the head with the handgun… and shoot rapidly better chance of hitting it in the head
common sense… FTW
.454 Casul FTW
I don’t think full grown grizzlies can climb trees, so you won’t have to be fast. That said, you’ve got a pretty good point there. I don’t know much about shooting bears, so I’ll have to take your word about the firepower required.
A .454 Casull has enough firepower to take down a grizzly. As Greg Brush found out using a Casull against a charging grizzly in Alaska.
http://www.adn.com/2009/08/13/897940/twig-snap-alerts-dog-walker-to.html
Now I wouldn’t recommend using a .38 special or 9mm. But handguns designed for big game hunting certainly have the stopping force necessary.

Honestly, no.
Unfunny caption that a) promotes the private ownership of guns (and therefore endorses/increases gun violence) and b) promotes people wandering out into the woods, which by default is a bear’s home and therefore is NO PLACE for someone to be walking around, period. We stay in our world, they stay in theirs, everything is okay… We go to their world (and invariably trash it up/ruin the landscape/harass the wildlife) and, well… We get what we deserve.
To the OP – Next time you try to make a “funny” caption here, stop. Shut up. Go away from the PC and think about what you are really promoting, then refrain from posting crap like this.
And to make gay comments would be natural for you.
Um… Well in a roundabout way, yes.
Every comment I make is “gay” because… Well, I will let YOU guess.
No, it really is saying that a constitutional right is evil, based on no evidence, or, at best, the WACKJOB Brady Campaign. And youll thank us someday when you are taking a hike anywhere north of New Jersey and a bear comes upon you, and a Private owner saves you from being the next meal of the bear.
Firearms ownership in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS promotes violence. Violence will occur, guns or no guns, because of sociological shifts: widening divide between upper and lower classes, wage disparity, popular culture mores (ie: popular media such as music and movies promoting violence as solutions or as “having made it”), erosion of educational expectations, I could go on but…
I will say that gun ownership, when taken on responsibly, rather promotes responsibility and safety awareness.
From your comments I will assume that you dwell in a city and love it bland concrete walls and crush of human turmoil. Only looking inwards to your fellow humans will be to only experience a small sliver of the experiences that life would allow.
I will say that to eschew our natural place in the environment makes us very remote and apathetic to plight of beautiful and endangered areas. Those who have no stake or claim to wilderness areas, emotionally or monetarily, often find no reason to defend them when the developers of your favorite store (abercrombie & fitch I will assume) come to lay claim.
Your inexperience as a whole invites the assumption that you have lived a very poorly filled life to this point. I would suggest traveling to gain perspective, experience, and eventually wisdom will come upon you. At this point, you seem to lack all three.
Please note the correction:
That should read:
“Firearms ownership in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS does not promote
violence”
Pardon the use of a double negative; as you can see it twisted me around itself and is poor grammar. I should have used a better phrase but was at that point being more reactionary than is normally advisable.
Wow, I’m a vegetarian and even I thought that was a douche of a comment…
sometimes, bears are vegetarians. this does not appear to be one of those times, so i would take the gun before the camera. aside from that, wtf does being a vegetarian have to do with any of this?
Again – so, never go in the woods, the ocean, a lake, a mountain, or anywhere but in your giant city that does far more damage to the environment than any person walking around does.
makes total sense.
most self-righteous people are just idiots in bad disguises.
@Again: “then refrain from posting crap like this.”
But if he did, then we would never get the privilege of being smothered neck deep in horse s**t spewed from self-righteous bastards like you.
Lighten up there, Skippy.
Again, there are many gun owners worldwide who use their guns for peaceful (or in the worst case scenario….defensive) purposes (eg….target shooting, or sporting events….isn’t shooting in the olympics?). Guns are only a threat in the wrong hands. I’d rather that guns be in the hands of the educated homeowner, than in the hands of the thief/murderer breaking in.
Theres an old saying “Once catapults become outlawed only outlaws will have catapults”
A firearm in the hands of an honest man or woman is far less dangerous than a microphone in the hands of a fool. In that case it’s just another tool, no more dangerous than a hammer, and far less dangerous than the cars driven by most anti-gun nuts.
Actually, ‘Again,’ this IS funny and you are not. You need to check some facts on how ‘private gun ownership’ effects violence. Ask Canada and the UK how the ban is working out for them. The more people carry, the less violence there is. Nobody’s going to F with you if they know you are packing.
What would be REALLY funny is a followup poster with the same legs and shoes resting in front of a fireplace, and between the shoes and the fireplace is a scantly dressed hot babe laying on a nice, cozy, warm, soft bear skin rug:
MAKING LOVE ON A BEAR SKIN RUG
He F’d with you once, now you get to F on him repeatedly.
^Win!
How does owning a gun promote gun violence? in Any way? you do realise that guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year—or about 6,850 times a day. This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives.
Do you realise that people in Canada NEVER have to use firearns to defend themselves … now that’s better.
Sure we do. Happens in homes all the time.
Why r people against owning guns?
because they fear the unknown
The real answer has been known for a long time: “A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.”
- Sigmund Freud -
Guns are painted as dangerous. Which is fair; they ARE dangerous, and you’d be a fool to think otherwise. Just like a car. Or sharks.
I used to be partly scared of, partly awed by guns. Then I got a .22. Now guns are on the mental shelf next to computer parts.
Again, I AM that Bear…I think it’s way funny.
Please step away from the computer….you take yerself far to seriously.
Have you _always_ had that stick up your butt? It was funny. It may not have been politically correct from your point of view but you should get over yourself.
Again, that would be a “sense of humor FAIL!” on your part…
I cant help but wonder what wildlife called where you live home before someone came in and trashed his territory to build a house that you would live in and call your home.
Dude, I am about as anti-gun as a normal person can get, and even I can take this with a grain of salt and see the humor. Chill out. No one’s going to take you seriously when it matter if you rant like the boy who cried wolf when it doesn’t.
And I doubt anyone will base their choice to get a gun or not get a gun based on “I saw this picture of this guy stuck up a tree once with a funny caption….”
Luls, “promotes private ownership of guns (and therefore endorses/increases gun violence)” and so, the mind-numbing liberal machine spits out another, ignorant sheep. Have fun living in your sheltered little world, sipping your kool aid
8 million gun owners didn’t kill anybody yesterday!
A.) Owning a gun is your first line of defense, gun violence rates actually spike with gun bans because those that don’t care about the law don’t tend to obey it… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyoLuTjguJA
B.) So we were all vegetarians living in cabins before our modern standard of living?
ok. seriously..you just said that a human being has no right in the woods! wow. you obviously don’t live in the south. That is strike one for you..saying that we don’t belong there. Strike two and Three and the final out is the whole deal with the gun…WHAT!! What the heck have you been smoking. it says in the constitution “we have the RIGHT to bear arms” and i think we should take up on this. i personally have a liseanse to carry a concealed weapon. so you think that we should not own them. wat you gonna do when a burgler breaks in your house and threatens your family. say ok mr. just take them. NO! you reach for you .308 and blow him out the front door! please let me know if anyone agrees or disagrees with me.
Yeah, I’m in Texas, and owning a gun is kind of a requirement. You must be a Yankee.
Because promoting the private ownership of guns increases gun violence by default. Here’s some very simple linear logic for you: guns are illegal. Criminals still own guns, because illegal to own doesn’t mean impossible, or even difficult, to acquire (see: drugs). People still get shot, except now they’re even less likely to be able to defend themselves.
Also, I have every right to be walking in the woods as the bear does to be living there. I happen to like walking in the woods, and I don’t mean at some national reserve with a thousand loud tourists about. If I go into the woods, and a bear attacks me, I deserve to be attacked, sure. The bear also deserves to be shot for attacking an armed human.
Really dude? Try looking up how incredibly safe the complete banning of guns in Mass. has lowered their crime rate
Or Jamaca
Or Jamaica
Again,
You are a moron.
Love,
Dan
Well if you notice the dark stain by the left foot. It is an anti bear spray, coming down the paint leg. To Again: it is only funny because we are looking at the picture, which means he got away. As to your statement “We stay in our world, they stay in theirs, everything is okay” we might as well just get off this ball of dirt, as they were here before us. As to shut up, go away; take heed of your own words. Piss off!
Sorry Again, but since my fiance comes from Alaska (where 9 year olds go out in the woods with rifles out of necessity) I have no sympathy for you. Besides, how are we supposed to appreciate nature if we don’t get out in it and learn? “Take away only your memories. Leave only your footprints behind.”
I hate it when people sneeze just as the shutter opens.
@Goose Comment Win! I was thinking yawning, but sneezing works just as well.
Well he was told to shoot the bear.. This isn’t what the other guy in the tree meant though..
RAWR
Not sure which one impresses me more:
That the shot is very clear (I would have been shaking too hard to hold onto the tree, my camera, and my nerves all at the same time).
or
That there’s not a river of any sort of bodily fluid running down the tree…I probably couldn’t have held that, either.
A very fast shutter speed takes away the shakiness from the photo even if you are shaking like a leaf in a tornado.
Methods of escaping that position:
1. Set camera on auto-flash. Set camera on burst mode. Take repeated photographs of the bear until it’s annoyed, or until it’s so distracted you can make your escape.
2. Just play dead.
but in playing dead, he would fall out of the tree, and soon thereafter, not be playing anymore…
I’m definitely gonna go shoot me some bears now after seeing this poster!
I agree with Again, in that we human encroachment and destruction of wild habitat is a major problem and should be taken more seriously. BUT this poster is a joke and any sensible person will not see it as encouragement to go out and shoot wildlife!
I’m definitely gonna go shoot me some bears now after seeing this poster!
Encroachment: yes. But hiking and camping are not encroachment. Urban sprawl and new development are the enemies and are generally that to which we refer when mentioning the term. As stated earlier, to remove yourself so completely from the natural world invites apathy towards its destruction. Outdoor activists are activists not because they love the outdoors from behind their local Starbucks’ windows but rather because they have immersed themselves in the wilderness, know and understand nature, and love their place in it.
Well, they told him to shoot!
OK, first I want to point out that this is a Brown Bear but it is not a Grizzly, which are distinguished by the grey “grizzle” on their dark patches.
.
Anyway … we really don’t want to turn this into some kind of pro- vs. anti- gun debate, but …
.
a) “high calibre rifle” and “high powered rifle” are ill-defined terms mainly used by uninformed journalists to help spread the fear. (We even had one news jockey here a little while ago describing a stolen rifle as “high powered”, it turned out to be a .22 short.) Having said that, a lot of large bears are taken with .30-06 or 7 mm Magnum which are generally considered medium power cartridges if you use that sort of vague system at all. Slightly more powerful cartridges like .338 and .375 H&H Magnum are also often recommended. For protection rather than hunting, a 12 gauge shotgun (loaded with slugs) is perhaps the most common recommendation.
.
One notable (mis-)feature of calibre recommendations for almost any type of game is that they become more and more extreme as years progress. Either the animals are getting tougher, or it’s mostly marketing. Fifty years ago most bears were shot with good old .30-06. Nowadays you sometimes even hear people talking about the truly high powered cartridges recommended for African big game — but oddly, you never see an experienced guide carrying anything heavier than .375.
.
b) “fast and accurately enough to take out a grizzly”: what? Hitting a bear 100 yards away requires skill, especially if he knows you are there and is stalking you or charging. Doing so at 2 yards does not take much skill, especially when he is staring straight up at you.
.
c) ” .. rifle fast and accurately … under the impression … with a handgun”: You seem to be under the impression that a handgun is easier to use skilfully than a rifle is. This is completely backwards. It is very, very difficult to hit anything beyond spitting distance with a handgun, and without hundreds of hours of practice most people are absolutely crap at it. On the other hand, I have regularly taken just 1 ~ 2 hours to teach green city-slicker recruits to shoot with a rifle well enough to group less than 2 inches at 100 yards, in the wind. (After preliminary training on safety and maintenance.) This isn’t great shooting, it’s what can be achieved in a couple of hours with total novices.
.
d) ” … under the impression that you can kill a grizzly with a handgun, in which case get whoever’s reading this for you to explain why you can’t”: Wrong again. Certainly a handgun is a very, very sub-optimal choice for shooting a bear. However it is certainly possible to use one as a method of last resort in case you are caught without your long weapon. Bears have been killed with .44 magnum and even .357 magnum — in fact prior to WW2, before the marketeers got at them, a lot of black bear was hunted with nothing but .357 — and many rangers carry a heavy pistol for just that purpose. Incidentally, rangers in northern Australia and South Africa often carry the .357 for protection against saltwater crocodiles, and “salties” can be much bigger than brown bears.
.
Some people claim that a bear’s skull is like armour plate and a .357 bullet just won’t penetrate. This is complete bunkum, in fact the skull is only about 1 inch of bone while a hardcast non-expanding .357 magnum projectile will penetrate about 1/4″ of mild steel or nearly a yard in flesh. That is actually enough that on some shots it will over-penetrate the bear and come out the other side! The real issue is that the vital areas of a bear which will cause an “instant stop” are quite small, and as mentioned previously, it is very difficult indeed to shoot accurately with a pistol. Most of your pistol shots on a bear will just tear up muscle tissue and smash bones, causing severe pain and blood loss, and eventually killing the bear — but taking several minutes to kill so that if he’s really determined, he may have a chance to kill you first!!
tl;dr
Your loss. It must really bite to go through life both ignorant and lacking the curiosity to learn. Most important ideas cannot be reduced to a bumper sticker; sadly, it seems you’re one of the entirely-too-large mass of people who cannot comprehend anything longer.
Thank you, I could not have said it any better.
I own a .357 Its hard for me to find anything other than jhp no hard casts, any websites you recommend?
Beartooth bullets (google it).
Also Midwayusa.com
and Brownells.com
Make sure to get ones that say “gas checked”. These help to prevent the deposition of lead in the bore (including excess bullet deformation). For short range shooting, follow E. Keith’s advice: wide front section (often called a meplat) and heavy-for-caliber bullets. At slower speeds these actually penetrate better.
For the ultimate in penetration try “big game punch bullets” offered here: http://www.beltmountain.com/punch.htm
These are basically pistol and big bore rifle dangerous game solids with lead in the bottoms. The brass is soft and will not harm bores.
Loved this.
I’ve tried not to set my hopes up high on Rampage coming to the UFC. Because as much as I would love to see how Rampage would do in the Octagon, it’s gonna be hard for the UFC to compete with Japan considering the tax thing as the threadstarter brought up. Even if the UFC was able to match a PRIDE contract, the lack of taxes in Japan would make PRIDE’s offer 30-40% better than the UFCs.
How on our green planet can I buy this poster
Come on dude, these facts* and proof* i mean who is posting* lol
tl’dr
maybe he should try beating the sh*t out of him with the camera…..or maybe not
in solviet russian, you chase bear up into tree!
The picture was taken by chuck norris, he gave the bear the short feeling of advantage before ripping the bears tongue out….
No, chuck norris painted it. In 1.5 seconds. Yeah. Then he made a duplicate and beat the sh*t out of the bear with it. The bear didn’t die, chuck was nice this time.
No Chuck took the picture and then jumped down the bears throat and then started wearing the bear like a suit.
LOLCANO
For one thing, i didn’t leave my front door without a gun when i lived in the woods, for another if you want to stay out of the bears natural environment then you’ll have to move to the middle of the desert where there is no life, or you can hold onto the notion that you are not taking a bear or cougar’s natural environment because someone before you originally took it dumbs**t(s)
I don’t think this is even a live bear, looks stuffed to me – as in taxidermy. I think that if a real bear was doing this there would be more scratching on the tree, saliva coming out of the mouth, and it wouldn’t look so perfect. I say staged.
also, look down the throat, you can kinda see the stand peg around the back of the tongue.
If I were to choose what to take with me on a hike in to bear country, I’d take anti-bear spray with the most capsaicin I can find. Climbing a tree in a hurry with a 12 Ga. shotgun one might use for hunting turkey or pheasant isn’t terribly practical. But the bear spray could fit in a pant leg pocket.
FWIW, I own such guns and I speak from experience.

FAIL
Being of sound mind in an emergency, the best thing to do would be unzip and use your body gun down the mouth, or like the other one who posted, remove the brown pile from your pants and drop it down the bear mouth, the bear would leave, would be looking for a drink or some way to rinse fast. Use what is at hand, sorry for the pun.
