Grizzly Attack in Fernie
« on: July 04, 2013, 11:53:37 AM »
For those who believe Bear Spray is the way to go...  :o

And Lesson Two: ALWAYS load the shotgun with SLUGS and/or Triple Odd Buck!!  ;)

Cheers,

Another article on the incident:  http://www.thefreepress.ca/news/214222241.html

Looks like a combination of the bear spray and shotgun probably saved their lives.  The sow is probably gonna die somewhere tho from the shotgun wounds.
