Bozeman, Montana resident Todd Orr was scouting for elk on Saturday, October 1 in the Madison Valley when he encountered a sow Grizzly bear with cubs. Todd described the incident on his facebook page.

"Suddenly, she turned and charged straight my way," he said. "I yelled a number of times so she knew I was human and would hopefully turn back. No such luck. Within a couple seconds, she was nearly on me. I gave her a full charge of bear spray at about 25 feet. Her momentum carried her right through the orange mist and on me. She was on top of me biting my arms, shoulders and backpack. The force of each bite was like a sledge hammer with teeth."

Todd said after a couple of minutes the sow was suddenly gone. He was alive and began walking back the three miles towards his truck. However, after 5-10 minutes the same grizzly approached him and attacked once more. Again, he survived and made it back to his truck and eventually the hospital.

He was able to snap a few photos and video of his injuries (see below).

Scary shit! Black bears all day long, well, even they are unnerving, but those grizz are a whole nother type of horror movie entirely!

Maybe people should stop hunting for fun and fucking with animals. Too bad the bear didn't rip his head off.

maybe we should just stay in the house and eat celery

I didnt know it was either stay home and eat celery or go out and hunt animals that have no chance to defend themselves.

Oh ok he is trying to fill his freezer and feed him family. I didnt know we were so low on food that you had to go out and kill. Lets not pretend that these guys do that for any other reason than the high they get from hunting and killing. Lets not pretend its for any other reason.

it is far more humane than any farm raised beef living in a feedlot and getting a bolt gun to the head or its throat slit

While I agree the way the animals are slaughtered is absolutely terrible and makes me sick I dont think going out and hunting for fun is any better.

A side note, when im done with bbing I am going Vegetarian, I made my mind up a long time ago about that.

 

[jason73]

you keep throwing out the term hunting for fun like that is the only reason for hunting

 

[jason73]

you littlerally go hunting 40-40 days in a row sometimes without killing anything .sometimes whole seasons pass.if it was only about killing then that would seem wastefull.if it was only about killing everyone would bag a spike buck a mile down the road from their house and be done with it .they wouldnt need to be up before dawn and drive 200km to a good spot and hike up a mountain in the dark carrying a bunch of shit just to sit in a good spot to glass a clearing a first light.not to mention take time off of work and waste hundereds of dollars in fuel .you go hunting because you love hunting .it is called hunting and not killing because you hunt 100x more than you kill. if you kill something early and it ends your season then it has robbed you of a bunch of hunting trips with youre bros and a reason to get out of the house and do something

I wont debate this with you too much further because this is both of our opinions on the subject but me personally, I couldnt take a weapon and hide in the trees and when a deer who is just chilling and drinking from a meadow gets taken out by a bow or a gun. That shit to me is despicable. That is why whenever i hear about someone getting mauled or fucked up by a mountain lion or bear or whatever just makes me laugh and not feel bad for the person at all. I am rooting for the animal every single time in life. People are scum.

You guys seen that documentary Grizzly Man? Guy was a certified nut.

Yet you eat meat that other people kill for you

I was not at all surprised by the ending

It always comes down to this for any hunter to say to someone like me. If that helps you sleep at night thats cool lol. I already made my stance and how I feel about eating meat in general. I do it because of what I do but when that is over so is me eating meat.

This guy wasnt even hunting I dont think.

He had bear spray and a pistol.

I would never go out in the wilderness but if I did and I knew there was fucking grizzly bears around I would have a shotgun and a rifle. Fuck depending on bear spray lol

Another thing we could try to do is stay the fuck out of their space. We snap and kill when they come onto our properties but its all good to go into their world and upset them and then kill them and say its in self defense.

I could think of a couple better ways to spend my afternoon than being a grizzly's chew toy.

IMO animals are the top we are taking their space.
