Good on him.
Tough *******;would love to see pictures of the bear;curious as what caliber he had with him?

[boxhitch]

Minor wounds........40 stitches, broken hand, dislocated shoulder.......Tough buzzard for sure.
I just hope ther isn't someone pulling chains like in the Alberta case.

[pupper]

wow, cool story. You know the rule. Where are the pics?

[hunter1947]

This hunter came out on top with this attack ,he obviously did what he had to do and won the battle. Bad thing that happened to him but ended good.

[MRBucks]

I wonder how he managed to get some distance from the bear for the second shot? Usually they keep at a person till they stop moving. Perhaps the first shot slowed its reactions down. He's one lucky fellow.

GOOD on him for fighting back !!!!!!!! (1st thing i would've done at my truck was CHANGE MY SHORTS :roll:,cuz they were full beyond capacity:eek:)

[Ambush]

The guy had a tag and was able to recover the hide with some help. That will make for a very special mount!

I think the moral of this story is that "Guns save lives". :razz:

at 2:20 PM ETIf a bear wandered into a town, most likely it would be killed by the people who live there. Why would anyone expect it to be any different if a person enters into bear territory? If a person travels into the wilderness, they are now part of the food chain for the animals that live there!


What an idiot!!!

Good job thinking in a deadly situation! Amazing story, would love to know more details.

I don't see the respectothers comment anywhere? Deleted? I know if a bear enters north vancouver they spend my tax dollars tranqing it, driving it up the coq. and let it go again, rather they would shoot it.

[killman]

Wow, I know this guy. Went to school with him and his brother in Smithers.
Glad to here he is OK.

[Smokepole]

Yup, I know him too. Lives less than a kilometer away. Tough country boy.

Just read this from a blogger!
-Later at the hospital Shorter was charged with unlawful transportation of a firearm during his drive into town.
RCMP officials have refused to comment

Isnt that the case,cant find criminals else where,so they gotta wait until your down and out:x:x

[shoot to kill]

was it still loaded or something? i would go to court and fight that... he gets attacked by a damn bear and lives and they slap him back down for anything they can find? go find a real criminal...

[boxhitch]

Its from a blogger. don't be quick to beleive it.

[hunter1947]

If that is the case so be it ,at least he saved his life even if it is true with the illegal transportation of the fire arm. You would think that if that was the case they would consider that he was in a bit of shock and not in his right mind and they would pass on this offence ???.

There is a real hole in his recounting of the story. If he really had a dislocated shoulder, no power in his body would have allowed him to shoulder a rifle and take a shot using both hands. Regardless of the adrenalin in his system, it just mechanically wouldn't work. So either his shoulder wasn't really dislocated (or it popped out and back in), or something fishy is happening in his retelling of the story.
