20. they are awesome hunters. they can slide toward seals and |
|
when one looks their way, they will cover their nose with their paw so they can't be seen as more than a pile of snow. Most encounters are last encounters. this person is lucky.

4. With my luck I'd try that and the bear would catch my fist in it's mouth. |
|
And then proceed to chew his way up my arm.

8. And here I have spent all this time just staying away from bears, |

when a simple punch in the nose would have sufficed.

"The inuit elder I spoke to told me to put them in a head lock and give them a wet willy."
"I was told they're sensitive about their weight, so you just have to tease them and they'll run off in tears."
"A pride of lions was recently in my house, I served them bad coffee and they left."

13. It's always worked for me. |

Polar Bears, drunken assailants, whatever the threat nobody expects a swift crack in the schnozola.
Then run like hell before the rest of them come along...

16. In Churchill, a drunk went outside and cracked a polar bear over the nose with a frying pan. |
|
Bear killed him.
That was back in the 70s when I spent a summer there.

18. No no, that's just animal abuse. The bear was just looking for a fish dinner. |
