This might be a good reason to have a Smooth Bore Pistol a handgun that shoots 12 gauge shotgun shells, or maybe 16 or 20 gauge with a choke you can make it be more for close shots or more ranged shots, like medium and you an also use slug ammo.
Well speak on why it is getting crazier and crazier. There is a long term concerted and coordinated effort to put lands in trusts so they are never sold and allowed to 'return to nature' or bought and go fallow if they were farm land, and the aggregate effect of all this is, unsurprisingly, more animals are born and thrive, but so do all the animals of the food chain, including top tier predators and omnivores like Bears, but also sometimes (on the flip side): when those animals don't have food as their main source experiences a dip in the population of that animal, for whatever reason, you get a spike of attacks on humans higher than normal. Shark attacks have increased in the oceans because Seal and other populations have taken a hit so these top predators go after something to survive. If you look into these, you''ll find more information. I was in a place where a mountain lion came over within close distance (like 40 feet) clearly close enough to run at me and attack, but they didn't because there was a big horn sheep they were hunting who went past me first and I was watching the sheep, but then the Puma came out of what seemed like nowhere. I was scared as the area I was on was made of loose flat rocks, running on them was not all that easy, and most likely I'd have fallen if I did try so I froze. I also showed no fear. I just watched these two animals. I could tell that Puma was focused on the Big Horn Sheep, not me, but I'd have made a more easy to kill meal if he had tried as it was an adult. If I had cover or trees or something maybe, but I was in a position there wasn't much I could do. I didn't have any weapons either. I was screwed, so the protection of the divine, or nature's conditioning that Puma so it recognized the sheep as a food source, not humans, is why I was not attacked. s Of course, I have also experienced the opposite where I was eating lunch and from the bushes behind me came a huge, massive Elk who walked right up behind me and tried to eat some of the Chips I had. I could tell this animal had been feed so it was quite comfortable getting human food. I was in a state park, where people lived and later I saw people feeding Elk on their back porch so this was a semi-domesticated herd. If I were going to go out in the back woods I'd make sure I brought a weapon or two, and things like bear spray, but also a GPS tracker, and other ways to be found if I got lost.
I think this guy should limit himself ONLY to a Bow, and be like the Rangers of the Wood of Old, like Robin Hood, in case they met a bear in Sherwood Forest. How about Robin Hood fair against a Bear, and if he survived he could take the Bear pelt to the Faire for showing off sometimes the bear eats you and sometimes you eat the bear, and that time he ate the bear.
There are a bunch of stupid woman on Social Media (like Tik Tok) that stated they'd rather be in the woods with a Bear than a human Man. One way you can troll these Feminists woman is to send them links to videos like this which are serious videos about how to survive, and protect themselves, as these woman live in a magical fictional reality, and this video shows them the reality of things, that in fact bears are far more lethal than the average man.
Not much penetration, that happens sometimes with a lightweight arrow setup or maybe it hit some bone.?But a wonderful blood trail and a terrific bull👍🏻
