Don’t be a bear in Montana

I saw this the other day and just found the video;

That 12 foot drop on his nose is probably still with him. Bears should work on their PLFs (Parachute Landing Falls for you nasty legs out there) if they’re going to venture into town.

  1. Shepherd Smith *LOVES* playing that video ANY time there is a bear story on during his time slot…

  2. See, this is why I don’t have a trampoline. I put one out for the kids, next thing ya know they’re sitting inside with broken bones and I’ve got a shitload of bears playing on the damned thing. I’ll stick with the pool, thanks.

    Or a chartbear.

    Poor bugger’s gonna need a chart – a medical chart! – after bouncing like that!

  5. Can we say “Compressed Vertabrae”?

    I’m not amused. Poor bear.

    The Montana authorities better watch out. I’m sure that the International Criminal Court will want to prosecute them for violating the “human rights” of the bear.

    Why couldn’t it have been a polar bear??? I hate those things.

  9. Reasons why it wasn’t a polar bear;

    1. It’s Montana.

    2. Polar bears don’t climb trees where they do live – no trees.

    3. No trampolines where polar bears live.

    3. Sarah Palin has probably wiped polar bears out.

    4. Polar bears hate you, too.

    Aw dammit that had to hurt, tranquilized or not. Hope they pumped him with the good stuff. Wonder how one splints a bear nose?

    #10 USMC Steve,

    Well, if you grab the bear by the balls, you can splint the bear’s nose. One handed, though.

    That’s good to know. I can now declare polar bear jihad since my conscience is free.:P

    the much more amusing video is when the bear rips your face off for getting too near her cubs.

    Uh Steve? That isn’t a splint on the bears nose…Its a muzzle so Fish & Game don’t git bit, bro….

    If you think a dog bite hurts? Run like hell from a bear….unless your armed with a .357Mag or 30-30.

    1# yeah this clip Smith constantly uses. He’s been beating that dead horse for years.

    I meant, that after the bear came down squarely on its nose, that it probably had a busted schnozz and needed it splinted. Not that it was wearing anything on its nose.
