    Noted- a shovel is not adequate polar bear defense. The gun seemed to work better.

    I saw that somewhere and it was pretty clever as he/she went back and forth in replies with folks asking clarifying questions to find a way where it might be ok.

    And does anyone believe this grizzly defense story? He sounds sincere.

    Here in New Jersey we functionally had this happen in 2014. A rutgers student and his friends, named Darsh Patel was hiking in the town of West Milford. A Black bear was stalking them. They ran up closer to get a picture and the bear attacked them. Darsh was a heavy set fellow and was the slowest of the pack. The black bear killed him, cached his body and fed it to his cubs.

    A series of newly released photographs reveal the final moments of a New Jersey student’s life before he was killed by a bear.

    Darsh Patel, a 22-year-old Rutgers University student, was hiking with four friends in the Apshawa Preserve in West Milford, New Jersey, in September when he was mauled to death by a 300-pound black bear.

    On Tuesday, West Milford police released five photos from Patel’s phone that show the bear standing behind a log just 100ft away from the hikers, the Record reported. In each photo, the bear appears to be getting closer to the hikers. Police said the bear in the photos was the same bear that killed Patel just a short while later.

    After taking the photos, they turned from the bear as the animal lumbered toward them. The group fled into the woods when the bear was about 15ft from them, running in separate directions.

    Patel’s friends told police investigators that they last saw him climbing a rock formation with the bear in close pursuit as he yelled to his friends to continue, the paper said.

    After regrouping, Patel’s friends, who were uninjured, realized he was missing and called the police.

    After two hours, police found Patel’s body with the bear lingering nearby. Police shot the bear dead. A necropsy indicated that the bear had ingested human body parts and bits of clothing, the Record reported.

    Patel’s phone was later recovered with a bite mark from the bear’s teeth.

    To date, Patel is the only person known to have died from a bear attack in New Jersey.

    Only folks that have been bitten (I have) by a large equine can truly appreciate the deployment of the SG. :^)
