    Bring a bag of ghost peppers or Carolina Reapers, sprinkle them in a circle around your bed. Might not work for an AZ bear though.

    I had forgotten that scene.

    Ive slept out under the stars or in a tent a couple thousand nights or so in both Az and in the Rockies in grizzly country, most nights the rifle slept with me, mostly just under the edge of the blankets or sleeping bag, a' la Kit Carson, some nights against me with the stock between my knees. Lever guns are much more comfortable to sleep with than most other types, sleek and flat for the most part. ARs are pretty rough, lots of parts sticking out, sharp edges and points, very uncomfortable, bolt guns are lumpy and chunky at best.


    Sleeping in bear country is the one real use I have for a pistol lanyard. Left handy next to the bed, one can slip the loop over the head and one shoulder, step out into the glories night to take care of business, and now have to be dressed or otherwise encumbered. The little hole in the backstrap of glocks is the attachment point for them, and the one thing I use the little plastic gun for when in the hills.

    @Clusterfrack, I hear bears really enjoy tourists; . . . they're tasty.

    LOL! Good thing Alec Baldwin was there. He would try to shoot at the bear, but hit his friend. Problem solved.

    No rush with this, I'm just curious.

    I can see that he did a lot of things that look like guilty behavior, remove the collar, cut the tattoo, etc.

    Is this a case of "he just shot the bear while it was peacefully sniffing buttercups in the meadow and was just a stupid Montana redneck", or was defending himself and his wife...and was just a stupid Montana redneck?

    Yes.

    Kidding aside, if you shoot a bear, especially a griz in a DLP situation, you best be prepared to do some explaining.
