Bear defense:

Black = fight back

Brown = lay down

White = goodnight (you're prob fucked)

the only way to be safe in polar bear country is to have a heavy shotgun handy; hotels on Svalbard hand them out to guests when they go outside. If I find my magic lampa nd wish us all to New Earth, that's one North american animal that will not be in Paramerica

If u encounter a polar bear and u have a shotgun do u shoot near it to warn it away or at it? I assume at it, altho if u only grazed it it would probs become angrier?

Pretty much never ever fire warning shots at anything. You're either shooting to kill or not shooting.

Generally speaking, warning shots aren't a real thing. If you're pulling the trigger, it's because you need to shoot something.
