This is from video I took last month, so the quality isn't great. The bear was about 25 yards away, and walking toward me. I picked up a rock and hit his left front foot with it. Then he went into the brush.
Dan, If you hold him still, I'll bitch slap em! I think bears are one of the neatest animals around, in 1998, my first year elk hunting my buddy and I found some scat...we thought that must be one big coon!
YEAH, I'm right behind ya. The wife and I laugh at each other when something does'nt work like it used to, a hip or a foot, if they only made little purple pills for that kind of stuff!
