SilvrT Posted December 4, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 4, 2008 Position: Surveyor Salary: $200 per hour (tax-free) Qualification: Must be fast on your feet Isn't it comforting to know that when you are about to become a bear's breakfast your buddy is standing there taking photos?

Yammer Dan Posted December 4, 2008 Share #3 Posted December 4, 2008 Feet, Don't fail me NOW!! Afraid that thing might eat my 40 cal and keep coming!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod Posted December 4, 2008 Share #4 Posted December 4, 2008 This is the reason to have a .50 cal. (or BIGGER). This is a case for the bigger the gun the better and gun control. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrantelli Posted December 4, 2008 Share #5 Posted December 4, 2008 Then some animal activist would have you arrested for cruelty to animals. "It was cruel and inhumane to shoot the bear!" That's when you take out the gun and clean the gene pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnightventure Posted December 5, 2008 Share #6 Posted December 5, 2008 I used to work with a guy that lead a survey crew in Alaska. He used to tell me that he always kept one fat guy on the crew. (Somebody he could out run). I think he was just kidding about that, but I think he was serious when he said that they hired natives to kill problem bears because they could do it legally.

Just don't eat the liver. Polar bear liver is the one and only mammal meat that is poisonous to humans. Toxic levels of vitamin A. This is your useless trivia for the day.

AKRefugee Posted December 5, 2008 Share #13 Posted December 5, 2008 I spent 6 years north of the Arctic circle with a great deal of that time "on the ice". First off I think that guy running is photographer cause you can see his camera stand leaning against the truck. Polar bears LOVE photographers (yumyum) cause they are never armed. Second thing is that polar bears will stalk and hunt a man. Watched it happen with my own to eyes so know that to be very true. Third off you do not need a large caliber gun for polar bears, all you need is a 22. This is for shooting your partner in the foot so no matter what you can out run him/her.

dynodon Posted December 5, 2008 Share #14 Posted December 5, 2008 No doubt that is a surveyers tripod and scope leaning against the truck. Don't think getting into the truck would wise, the bear could easily break a window or rip a door off. I assume it ended happily (for the humans).
