    How to stop bear attack

    Stick your arm down his throat, lol. Probably saved him a lot of pain



    Dellwo was walking up a creek bed, hoping to drive a herd of elk to a ridge where his brother was waiting.

    He was only 3 feet from the bear when he noticed it. He said the grizzly had been sleeping and didn't see him coming, possibly because of the snow, rain, and 30- to 40-mph winds.

    Dellwo said he had time only to take a few steps back before the bear knocked him off his feet and bit his head.

    "He let go, but he was still on top of me roaring the loudest roar I have ever heard," Dellwo said.

    The bear then bit Dellwo's leg and shook him, tossing him in the air. As the bear came at the man again, Dellwo recalled a story he read in a magazine.

    "I remembered an article that my grandmother gave me a long time ago that said large animals have bad gag reflexes," he said. "So I shoved my right arm down his throat."

    The advice worked, and the bear left.

    Dellwo rejoined his brother, who drove him to a hospital. Dellwo received stitches and staples in his head, some on his face, a swollen eye and deep puncture wounds on his leg.

    "I want everyone to know that it wasn't the bear's fault," Dellwo said. "He was as scared as I was."

        I read an article once that tickling a bear's hiney with a feather works even better. I will probably try that if I am ever mauled by a grizzly.

                  When I used to have dogs and a pup would bite my hand, I'd stick my fingers as far down his throat as I could. They will immediately stop biting and try to get away from you as fast as possible when you do that. I'd probably try it on a bear if I had to and didn't have bear spray or a gun. It would either work, or he'd bite my arm off and I'd bleed out faster to end the misery.

                    Old bear hunters tale;
                    A group of hunters were hunting bear, rotating cleaning/cooking duty, well one day the others come back to camp to find the cook skinning a bear, they all start giving him grief about going hunting and not doing his chores, the cook tells them I was doing my chores but when I went to the creek to get water, I turned around and this bear was heading down the path at me, so I threw poop in his eyes, ran and got my gun and shot him. Finally another guy ask, "where did you get poop from". The cook replies "just reach for it, it'll be there".
