The difference between civilized and uncivilized, it would have eaten you, yet you gave it a warm home forever!

Elmer Keith took polar bear with the .357, .41 and .44 magnums.

He went out and looked for those fights? CLANG, CLANG, CLANG that man's rang as he proudly walked away!

All I can say to that is...
Thank God for the advancement to computer generated special effects.

Nice. I was for some reason expecting the 2-D version (aka rug/blanket), but 3-D (taxidermy) is way better!

Several years back, a large 188 pound tom

That's a big turkey!

3-4 years ago security cameras recorded a cougar in one of the OHSU parking garages in Portland

That's weird, normally there's just college age kids.

My 460 is my "polar bear" gun
My 44 is my "brown bear" gun
My 357 is my "black bear" gun

Welp, 37 years ago, when this flick came out, I thought it was pretty cool and all, when paired with the fact that I had just bought my very first personal computer that could fit on a desk, with a monochromatic CRT and a 5-1/4 floppy disk-drive...

That was a bit much, even for my bawdy style of humor...

My main concern is my kids and dogs who prefer to be outside instead of being inside playing video games. We have lots of deer and turkey here. Strangely we've never seen a coyote though. I'm curious as to any activity I might catch on the security cams. I may need to invest in a game cam.

Game cameras are fun. I keep a couple of them going all year.

I don't know how much of this story is truth and how much is marketing, but there was a famous story about a priest who went to the Aluetian's in the 30's (to whip a little religion on the natives) and wanted to take some protection with him.
LGS suggested the then -new .357 Mag (which, in those days, meant S&W N-Frame, replete with the most luxurious bluing job any human has ever witnessed).
When a giant polar bear started raiding the garbage dump of the village the priest lived in, and then the villagers, it is said he dispatched the bear with the .357.
I believe S&W used that story to help advertise the power of their .357 revolver, back in the early days.
....of course, an indigenous Canadian shot a 1000 lb. Grizzly with a .22 Long, too.
