Here's a gruesome story. A 19 year old girl called her mom several times to report how a mother bear and her cubs were eating her alive. This is after the bear just killed her step-father. Help arrived about half an hour too late. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/265455/Bear-s-eating-me-girl-told-
I won't read it. Thanks for the warning. It was bad enough to listen to my daughter get beat up because she was talking to me when it happened.
yep, same here, even when I'm just going fishing. I am only in south carolina but I have seen some shit in these woods and even dead on the roadside. I'd rather be mocked for bringin a gun than killed and eaten cuz I left it at home.
That's crazy. I don't like that the article doesn't tell you when/how the police were contacted. Or the distance of the station from the attack site. Leaves a lot of questions..
I have to admit, read this in the paper today, and first thought, wow, never underestimate a chics ability to talk. Mean I know, as its sad and rather gruesome, story made me a bit sick really. But seriously, a bears chomping on your leg, who decides, "Hey, this would be a good time to ring mum, and maybe I'll update my facebook status at the same time" Although she would have been in shock, so....
I guess she knew she was gonna die and wanted to hear someones familiar voice instead of just laying there like bear chow. It does seem incredible that she was able but not so much that she chose to do so.
Facebook status: Currently being eaten. She shoulda been videoing the whole encounter and uploading it to YouTube. That would've been #1 on YouTube and earned her enough money to pay for her funeral.
Wow, thats horrible, the mom must be a wreck . Cant believe she had the presents of mind to call her mom either
All the comments on the story seem to not believe it. It's still horrific to think of, and a good time to point out the best defense for dealing with a bear is punching it in the nose and running. Hopefully in the time it takes it to react and recover from the pain, you can at least get far enough away to get help.
You don't want to get that close (to punch it in the nose). You punch a shark, not a bear. You also don't want to RUN! Bears love a good chase, as it increases their appetite, for you! You should inform yourself how to react to a bear encounter, and not post rubbish, Ramona.
