Upon further watching this video, I believe I for one would PREFER to take on that particular bear, than a large aggressive goose! (they WANT to hurt you!)

All mama really wanted to do was GTFO of there with her cubs.

(although with less perfect timing by the crazy girl the one little dog mama got her claws into would very likely have been ripped in half!)

yeah, bear and cubs, you better run. That 17 year old girl is lucky as hell to catch that wee black bear mommie (all CA "brown bears" are actually black bears, so you know...).

A Goose on land...not too big of a deal. A goose in the water, though, you dead.

Actually if you were to read the article @ the link I posted above titled "Facts about Bears" then report back? (hint: that's true of certain types of bears)

😉


Having said all of that, nobody needs to tell me to stay far away from any and all wild animals.... helps avoid painful mishaps. (even a squirrel can cause profuse bleeding!)

And far as an actual physical tangle, you or I can most likely fend off even a large goose on land IF we saw it coming. If not though, a grown man can easily be injured or KO'ed by a wing-blow to the head or neck. (Swans can kill doing the same thing)

Even a small bear could POTENTIALLY gut a grown man like a fish with its massive front claws but the thing is that given a chance 999 times out of 1000 a black bear (even one with cubs) will head for the hills instead of attacking.

Not a pissed-off goose though .... you're in for a severe pinching at the least if it gets you! (and those fvckers can move!)

😛

Black bears are losing their shyness, attacks and even fatalities in the States have gone up over time. 25 people killed since 2000 I think it is.

It's true about the size part though. The one that got my dad in 91 was roughly 50 lbs smaller than he was. Probably about the same size as bear in that video. No cubs involved, just the bear bait he was tending. He did surprise it, was a windy day and bear probably didn't hear his approach. No retreat, no fake charge, just straight to work. He got plenty of claw wounds, but it was the teeth coming at his face and throat he was more worried about. He did a Peterson and used his hand to gag the bear (which didn't work out great for his hand), allowed him a chance to flip over on his stomach and play dead. I will never forget the image of my dad walking into the house asking for a ride to the hospital, his clothes all torn up and him covered in peanut butter and his own blood. Warden said it's possible that was the bear's first encounter with peanut butter, and saw my dad as another bear trying to muscle in on it.

Moral: take a jar of peanut butter with you when hiking, throw it into bushes as diversion if charged

It'd get hairy, unless that person is a diver, someone with a lot of freediving and spearfishing under their belt. Being significantly larger would help. Then it's 'how long can this bird stay under? Let's see'

I'm the roo. He's the dingo.

Tell him you only take cash?

.460 Weatherby Mag?

I'm listening. Spooking them with loud sounds and walking right at them doesn't always work I'm told, though it does often I guess. Is there something else? Indian villages use ghost pepper decorated fencing to control elephants, and it works great, so technically a pepper spray should work too.
