Lots of grizz/Kodiak/browns round Anchorage, no polar bears, occasionally one shows up in the gulf that rode a piece of ice there or something. Polars are Barrow's trash bears, occasionally seen round Prudhoe and the oil patches, been both places. There's some videos around of people herding them off runways and things.
Polar bears are protected marine mammals with treaties and things pertaining to them. Hunting or possessing parts is legally complicated, shooting in defense could be too.
But no arteries... I would've thrown a tube in him, started a morphine bolus and said a prayer for him. He made it. God was looking out for him that day and has been since.I am honestly surprised that dude didn’t bleed out. There’s a crap load of bleedy things in the face.
People are surprised at my "worry list" when I'm outdoors. Pretty much in this order.
Bees
Snakes
Hogs
People
Bears

I’ve had at least one on my camper porch several times this past summer and they are thick around my cabin as they drop relocated bears up there all the time. There’s so many that Tennessee opened bear season there for 3 days this year for the first time. I’ve run a couple up the mountain in the winter time by throwing firewood at them but I keep an M1A loaded by the door in case they want to give me trouble.i need a good rug in the cabin anyway! We find bear scrapes 6-7 feet high just off the porch of the cabin all the time.

I always worried about my Dad, who got up in the middle of the night to walk outside in his underwear to pee several times. In his later years, one of us started getting up with him and my German Shepherd would always go with him.I hope you never have to face off with one!

Why Not? Sounds like fun.................
You guys had any coffee yet?
The second largest black bear was also found in the same area of NC. Then there was the 782 lb black bear taken in Hyde County.If I remember the story on the 880lb one didn't a wildlife biologist make a determination that he had some sort of metabolic/genetic thing that made him pretty much a freak of nature?
Yeah, I had a coupon for it. I only dip mint now. Thing would likely try to kiss me if it happened again.Mystery solved as to what ran his ass off.
This guy may wish he was dead with all the surgeries he will have go through. That's not an easy fix.
Wow that's amazing to be honest.The top photo is after the surgeries.
