  1. I kinda wish it was trudoo down there…unfortunately, trudoo wants to ban all firearms…this is a case where a powerful tool can help save your life. How many times I have defended my life against grizzly, moose, wolves, coyotes…THATS GD DAM RIGHT… IF I was not holding a firearm when these animals attacked me, my brother and dad…we would be GRIZZLY scat

    1. Go into their territory, and it’s up to each individual animal if they attack or not. Moose and deer become very territorial and aggressive in rut. Bear and mountain lion? Well, if they’re hungry enough, we’re just another food source to them. I’ll never cut a game trail without a can of bear spray and a backpack shotgun as a last line of defense.

    2. @steve raeburnyah…in the 50 years of hunting…I am always in their house…..I am food to them or it could be they just feel uncomfortable or threatened ….I can’t be 100% …but when you spend as much time as I have in these animals back yard…it’s only a matter of time when you will have confrontation…. please be safe….and remember, if you want to live…the best defense is to be prepared offensively

  2. Pretty sure he felt he found the mother load of willow tips and just wasn’t willing to share. Lucky there were some claimable trees, never approach wild life, you just never know how they may react.

  3. This is why Canada should reverse its firearms laws. It’s not the law abiding gun owners that are the problem. And Canada is not the USA.
