Polar Bear, Grizzly Bear, don't matter. A big bear is a big bear.
Even a 50 lb cub can seriously rearrange your plumbing for life.
Yes, this is a movie, not real life. Doesn't matter.
Last Chance. Do Not watch this if you're squeamish.
Enough of these idiot wanna-be Polar Bear huggers.

Polar Bears All Over The Place Now, Native Alaskans Say
American Thinker
December 7, 2017
By Monica Showalter
[Ed; How many people are out of the vehicle, petting the bears?]
To climate change fanatics, polar bears are the eye candy for the worldwide call for action on global warming. There have been news reports about the sad shape they are in, with their coats going brown, their food supplies drying up, and their ice floes melting. Conclusion: The bears are set to starve.
Welp, turns out there are too many of them now.
According to Marc Morano's Climate Depot:
2 New Papers: 92% Of Polar Bear Subpopulations Stable, Increasing – Inuit Observe 'Too Many Polar Bears Now'
...and...
Inuit observations of polar bear ecology: "Last year he said that there's more bears that are more fat … they rarely see unhealthy bears… back in early 80s, and mid 90s, there were hardly any bears … there's too many polar bears now."
So, instead of furtive bears withering away on ice floes and starving due to loss of habitat, rising sea levels or whatever the global warmers claim, what we actually have here is a bear explosion, with bears so well fed that they've gotten fat.
It's more than just anecdotal – the bear populations are exploding everywhere.
In Russia, near its Chukotka peninsula, AFP reports:
MOSCOW: A boatload of tourists in the far eastern Russian Arctic thought they were seeing clumps of ice on the shore, before the jaw-dropping realisation that some 200 polar bears were roaming on the mountain slope.
"It was a completely unique situation," said Alexander Gruzdev, director of the Wrangel Island nature reserve where the encounter in September happened. "We were all gobsmacked, to be honest."
Several years ago, we were warned that bears were starving due to global warming and would be irretrievably lost.
I recall the first interview I did with Alaska's then-governor, Sarah Palin, about the polar bear situation in 2008, before she got famous. I asked her if the news reports were right that polar bears were starving. I only have a reference to the link, unfortunately, but I vividly recall her most memorable quote: "Our bears are healthy bears!"
She added that maybe that could be the situation in Canada, but it certainly wasn't in Alaska.
Now ABC News and NBC News are reporting that bears are flooding Alaska's villages, supposedly because of the loss of their ice floe habitat. The Washington Post is bringing them up as an argument against the GOP tax cut bill.
Problematically to the claim about the missing ice floes (unlikely now that it's winter), the photos prominently feature obese bears who clearly haven't fled any sort of famine.
Fact is, not only are the Alaska natives seeing too many bears proliferating, but so are the scientists who study them. Professor Susan Crockford of the University of Victory has observed the proliferation of bears, and far from saying they are endangered, she concludes they "are not at risk," which, of course, got her attacked by ideological leftists and those for whom global warming is a religion.
Terence Corcoran of Canada's Financial Post notes that this bear issue and the left's shifting story on it is a magic talking point for global warmers, who go after anyone who deviates from their party line:
It's all part of an escalating epic of polar bear junk science. It begins with a paper in which Amstrup, who heads the activist group Polar Bears International, and other climate scientists – including famed temperature hockey-stick maker Michael Mann – produce what must be one of the most pathetic scientific smear jobs in the already sorry history of climate change science smear campaigns. Also along for the hatchet job was Stephan Lewandowsky, an Australian psychologist who asserts that people who have doubts about climate policy are wacky conspiracy theorists who would also tend to believe the 1969 moon landing was faked.
So instead of starving, global warming is now causing bears to proliferate. We are supposed to be upset about it no matter what the truth is. It just goes to show that global warmers can't get their stories straight. And they want to have their bears and starve them, too.
Thank You Ms Showalter and American Thinker.
Contrary to Loony Tune Anti Hunting, Anti Gun activists, people do not use AK-47s to hunt bears. Aside from being ridiculously under-powered for the job, an AK-47 is built for reliability, pull the trigger and it fires no matter how much river bed sand or mud you dropped it in. This means much looser tolerances and Decreased accuracy.
Alaskan bear guides who hire out to hunters often advise their clients to bring a .338 Winchester Rifle.
This is to prevent the client from 'Short Stroking' the bolt. Bad form in hunting dangerous game.
The .338 Cartridge is physically shorter than a .375 H&H or .458 Winchester. Pull the bolt handle up, pull it ALL the way back to eject the empty casing and shove it forward to chamber a 2nd.
There probably isn't a word in the English language to adequately describe what you will be feeling in a bear charge in the coastal alders.
'Short Stroking' the bolt will not eject the empty or chamber a fresh round as you are aging a year per second in a bear charge. You pull the trigger and hear, click, the sound of the firing pin coming down on a spent casing.
Been nice knowing you.

Activists Stood There Crying While Filming A Dying Polar Bear, Then Blamed Global Warming

Stood there crying.
[Ed; That Polar Bear Photo Safari truck is not there to protect the cuddly polar bears from the human beings. It's there keeping the humans That High off the ground to keep the poor defenseless polar bears from dragging the people out of the truck and eating them.
This way the tour truck operator doen't have to lose his license and livelihood when he breaks out a large caliber rifle and kills the cuddly polar bear to keep it from tearing his clients limb from limb and having them for lunch.
Stood there crying.
They Would have been grateful the dying polar bear Was dying and unable to chase them down and turn them into bloody chunks of Polar Bear Dinner if they'd had a lick of sense.]
Morons.
Anyway, on to the daily caller write up.
Every couple years photographs surface showing a “starving” polar bear whose plight is inevitably used to sound the alarm on man-made global warming.
However, like previous claims, footage of a single dying bear is not evidence of global warming-induced starvation.
This year, biologist Paul Nicklen published a video online of an emaciated polar bear on Baffin Island rummaging through trash cans, looking for food. The polar bear was likely at death’s door when Nicklen captured the footage in late summer.
Nicklen, who founded the environmental group Sea Legacy, said he wanted to highlight the future polar bears face because of global warming. It worked, and the video has gone viral, sparking media coverage about a polar bear that’s a victim of a warming world.
“We stood there crying—filming with tears rolling down our cheeks,” Nicklen said, National Geographic reported.
“When scientists say bears are going extinct, I want people to realize what it looks like. Bears are going to starve to death,” said Nicklen. “This is what a starving bear looks like.”
It’s certainly a sad sight, but it’s not evidence global warming drove that specific bear to starvation. In fact, experts noted that if starvation in the area was global warming-driven, carcasses would be strewn throughout the landscape.
[Ed; It's certainly a sad sight.
Yes it is, Downright Tragic. If Shakespeare had only known. He'd have written a Polar Bear Hamlet, Romeo and Juliette, or Merchant of Bullshit.]
Interestingly enough, Sea Legacy co-founder Cristina Mittermeier admitted the actual cause of death was “irrelevant” — the point of all of this, like past starving polar bear videos, is to sound the alarm on global warming.
“It is impossible to tell why he was in this state. Maybe it could’ve been because of an injury or disease,” Mittermeier told CBC News.
“The point is that it was starving,” she said, “as we lose sea ice in the Arctic, polar bears will starve.”
Polar bear experts, however, have cautioned that such photos don’t constitute evidence of global warming-induced starvation.
“In August, this bear would have been only recently off the sea ice: since most bears are at their fattest at this time of year, something unusual had to have affected his ability to hunt or feed on the kills he made when other bears around him did not starve and die,” Zoologist Susan Crockford wrote on her blog.
“It could have been something as simple as being out-competed for food in the spring by older animals,” Crockford wrote. “But if sea ice loss due to man-made global warming had been the culprit, this bear would not have been the only one starving: the landscape would have been littered with carcasses.”
In 2013, similar footage surfaced showing a dead polar bear that had likely starved to death on the island of Svalbard. That bear was also seized upon by activists to sound the alarm on melting Arctic sea ice, which bears hunt on.
German nature photographer Kerstin Langenberger posted a picture online in 2015, purporting to show a Svalbard polar bear brought to the brink of starvation due to a lack of sea ice. She used the photo to claim “climate change is happening big deal here in the Arctic.”
While climate models predict Arctic sea ice coverage will continue to shrink, polar bear numbers have been stable or rising in many areas with reliable population counts.
Recent population estimates suggest Baffin Bay polar bear numbers are on the rise, in contrast to other estimates claiming the population is “likely declining” due to over-hunting. Local Inuits have long contested claims of polar bear decline on Baffin Island.

Thank You Mr Bastach and the DC.
BTW. If you find yourself being stalked and hunted for dinner by a white bear, you'd better be packing something bigger than a .30-30.
That'll just piss them off.
A .30-06 Might do, but you'd be better advised to be shooting at least a .338 Winchester, .375 Holland & Holland, or if you can handle it, a .458 Winchester.
A .44 magnum wheel gun isn't much more than a life preserver in the North Sea. Unless you've got nerves of steel and you're ready to brain the bruin at 10 yards, Good Luck. You're gonna need all of it you can get.
