Some people can say they killed a man with their bare hands, but how many can say they killed a bear with their man hands.?

Jackson, Wyoming is one of the best places on earth.

Unless your arm happens to be wedged in the jaws of a perturbed grizzly bear.

It's a Hole. And the millionaires are getting pushed out by the billionaires.

Or at least one of the better places in Wyoming.

Which, let's be honest, isn't saying all that much...

[–]XtortionBear 2 points3 points ago

I guess we have drastically differing views on Wyoming then.

[–]Wapiti-eater 2 points3 points ago

Yes - cuz that's how we roll in Wyo.

Now, leave your money and go the hell home.

One of two grizzlies

The other one wasn't killed by Yujiro Hanma by any chance?

Wyoming is awesome, where else can you buy big bore shotguns,porn, and booze all in the same store? Fucking Wyoming! That's where.

Anyone know where this plaque is?

It's obviously indoors, looks like it's part of a museum exhibit. I've seen it online many times, but never any more detail beyond him being American and capable of killing a grizzly with nothing but his bare teeth.

[–]NorthernerWuwu 0 points1 point ago

Outdoors, plaque. Pretty standard fare for north american parks. Hell, same stuff really in the UK too.

Not sure why you'd go with obviously indoors. It might be I suppose but generally these things are outdoors and the lighting and framing suggest that too.

[–]dusty78 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Probably indoors, the plaque starts "This bear was taken..." so, I'd assume that it's in front of a stuffed bear carcass (that most people concerned with it's non-deterioration would keep indoors)

Couldn't the bear just have chomped the guy's arm off? Or was it too busy choking

i know with dogs if they try to bite you i've been told to shove your hand down their throat, they freak so bad they stop biting and you gain instant contol. I've tried this with my roomates dog playing, and it works.

"When the bear passed-out from lack of blood flow to the brain, Petersen beat the bear in the head with a stick."

I imagined the scene then started laughing.

This is a repost - given that fact does anybody have any links with more information about the incident and the man involved?

killed it with his bear hands?

[–]Insegredious -2 points-1 points ago

I call bullshit. The sign clearly says the bear was killed "without" the use of modern weaponry, and not that the bear was killed without the use of modern weaponry.
