Just scare off a brown bear??!!,ya works every time at leat for the other two anyway and know one knows what a bear will do at any given time. The house is of no protection from a brown bear.
Because if the bears had actually tried to hurt his kids, they would have hurt his kids. They weren't trying to hurt anyone.
now you sound like that guy that thought they were freindly and him and his girlfriend were lunch. What ever his name was he was really ignorant about bears.
The house is of no protection from a brown bear???? What do you think they are, furry Godzillas?
Yeah, a brown bear can get into your house if it really wants to, but you'd certainly have time to shoot it if it was trying to get in and wouldn't scare off.
You're referring to Timothy Treadwell, and no, I'm nothing like him. He was so stupid as to go into bear country without a gun (like a lot of granola-crunching hikers I hear about). I would never go where bears might be without a gun. But I'm also not going to shoot them just for being present. I'm only going to shoot them if they show aggression.
Are you talking about a 250-400 pound brown, or are you talking about a 600-800 pound griz?
Griz, Kodiak brown, polar bear...none of them can just knock a house down. Sure they can get in if they want to, but you're going to have enough time to defend youself, don't you think? And in that case, shooting the bear would definitely be warranted.
Putting the kids in the house and then dealing with the bears (hazing them) would certainly have been better than just letting the kids remain outside. That's all I was trying to say.
