5..I did not imply that you encouraged over aggressiveness.

I implied that you are a moron.

So, according to u, Richard, the INTELLIGENT way to handle the problem was to do so as she actually DID ?

(I infer that she probably turned her back and ran from the coyotes.)

You fought two black bears, or you ran from two black bears?

If I lived in Canada, the first thing I 'd do is to MOVE.

I think you forget that David is armed. You might try to put him on his back, but that might be a risky proposition for you.

Besides, he would be arrested at the border
for attempting to bring his beloved firearm/s into Canada. Did you forget that part?

David,

Perhaps we could setup an experiment.
You arm yourself with the pistol of your choice
and we will put you in the woods with two 60 pound predatory coyotes.
We will discuss the outcome and how you shot, maimed, killed,
scared off both coyotes over a beer afterwards.

Are you game? (no pun intented)

It woud be fun,
but we both know that it is not going to happen.
I re-iterate AGAIN that I am not a hunter. I do not wish to become a hunter.

1. I do not trust pistols; thay jam too much.
If any handgun, I 'd use my .44 magnum Ruger SuperBlackhawk revolver,
backed with my .44 special Taurus Model 445 revolver.


2. Even if I were willing, it is not likely that Canadian customs
woud let me into your country with a gun; (I suspect -- I don 't know that for a fact).
Maybe thay DO let in hunters.

I am not afraid of coyotes, but it is very likely that Canada
has more serious predators than them, e.g., cougars n bears.

It kinda sounds like fun,
tho again, I have no wish to harm peaceful animals, including coyotes.
I woud not go there to avenge Taylor upon innocent coyotes
who had nothing to do with the offense.

Richard, if u are going to participate in argument, and if u wish to be taken seriously,
u need to REMEMBER what u have already said earlier in the discussion, and responses thereto.

I submit that in my post I did not make claim to fighting anything. I avoided the bears which is the best way to handle the situation. Of course, I would not have had that opportunity if I was extremely close to the bears when we acknowledged each other.

No, you didn't claim to have fought anything, but you did appear to take on the persona of an Internet "tough guy," when you said David would be end up lying on his back on the floor, and you indicated David would be a "pussycat" in comparison to when you and your brother tangled with the black bears that chased you.

Trust me, Tico. Nobody outruns a black bear unless the bear wants you to outrun it.

I would gladly provide the truck and movers.

You'd deliberately approach David's house with a truck and a bunch of men? Are you crazy?

Your reading abilities are becoming clouded. Yes, I said he would end up lying on his back. No,
I did not say I would necessarily be the one to do it.
I said "in my neck of the wood". I also did not use the word tangled.
I used the word chased.

If you are going to refute what I say, I would appreciate it
if you could at least get the facts straight before forging in.
I hope David appreciates your playing the internet bully in coming to his assistance.
Lord knows he needs it.

I have no need to take on the persona of an Internet "though guy".
Sure, I can handle myself in rl and have no need to use the internet
to portray such tactics. It is not my way. Perception seems to be everything with the written word.

Trust me, Tico. Nobody outruns a black bear unless the bear wants you to outrun it.

Nope. I said I would provide the truck and movers.
Contrary to popular believe, I am not stupid and would not venture within shooting range of Sir David.

Believe THAT!
A biped cannot outrun a quadrupedal predator,
except if, in Richard 's situation, he intrepidly runs away to his car.
Intrepid means fearless, brave and bold.
I have every confidence that he was 100% fearless as he ran from the bears.

That 's OK, Richard. I 'm not mad at u.

So after u & your brother ran to your car,
what happened with the bears ?
Did thay approach your car?

This was in a Provincial Park. BTW....no guns are allowed in Provincial Parks.
