38 Special Bear Defense Load

[Skipper]

I had some 7.62x39 rounds that were loaded with wooden bullets. They were marked as blanks I didn't know they were bear rounds.

Probably vampire rounds

I did once scare off a large male black bear with a .22 pistol, by shooting it into the air. I would have been toast if the bear had decided to attack me rather than running up the hill away from me.

I used a Ford F-250. While I was throwing a Hefty garbage bag full of our "after work" party remains onto the dump in Prudhoe BaY, Ak, I must have got close to a big griz who was having dinner at the dump, that I didn't notice with my hangover. I was in the bed of a 4x4 truck and when he stood up to roar and scare the do-do out of me, we were eye to eye. I pounded on the cab and told the driver to get us outa' there. If I'da only had a 38!!

News reports indicate that in the incident Rudy Noorlander had this week with a grizzly, that the revolver he was carrying "misfired." Anybody know what that revolver was?

I wondered the same thing. I'd like to know the circumstances behind "misfired"

Reminds me of the movie Revenant as well…
