Bear wasn't aggressive at all. No reason to kill it.

There is if you are bear hunting...I was never attacked by a deer or a fish, but I've taken many home to eat...

I don't know man... I swear that fish was coming right for me I had to shoot it.

A Wild animal has 3 choices.

Fight
Flight
Hold its Ground

The Bear wasnt holding shit on that ladder, and the guys words didnt provoke a fight. It made the Bear uncertain. Had the dude gotten all tough that Bear would have been right up there in a flash, if the Bear felt threatened. Half these internet tough guys would be freaking out and screaming like little bitches. The other half would be figuring out how to actually load and use a weapon they might actually own.

Hunting for sport is bullshit, hunting to survive is a different story. Only kill what you have to.

Sage advice. Even wild animals respond to calm a demeanor. if you are in touch with nature, unless the animal is ravenous, or you agitate it with aggression, you can usually successfully withdraw from the situation.

I have had many experiences with bear encounters, one a close encounter with a mom and cubs, which I described in an earlier post. Even the grizzly walking across my car, leaving nice paw dents in Banff national park didn't freak me out.

In the north, the rule is only kill what you can eat, anything else is wasteful and wrong, not in balance with nature.

The only time I felt uncertain with an animal was a really high strung police dog whose owner was a trainer and who i babysat for when I was in my teens. It was the only dog he ever warned me about and he was right, that dog was crazy.

Edited to add,

I couldn't believe this post still had legs, so one last kick at the can.

Big flippin deal. Have been in that position dozens and dozens of times. Even kicked one or two gently in the nose when talking or banging on the platform didn't work.

They are just being bears and deserve your respect. If you are going to intrude and feed them, then you need to expect some close encounters............. and that should not end in the demise of the bear unless you are hunting and the one climbing up for a visit is the one you want. Otherwise you send them on their way, no worse for wear....... take a picture or some video as this guy did.

The world is full of citified pussies. Oh and by the way bear meat is good to eat, especially fall bears. Wormy? I assume the poster is referring to trichinosis and this is predominantly found in bears that are scrounging in or near dumps/eating garbage. Rare in a wilderness bear. You usually eat bear meat cooked like pork anyways and it is not an issue.

Yeah, it can be pretty scary, but black bears are generally pretty skittish and want nothing to do with humans unless they know you have food near you, and they frighten pretty easily. Try that with a mountain lion ;) I generally never carried a video camera when I walked home from work @ 3-6 am... Damnit :)
