....meth fueled attack squirrel lol.
 
It's a thing down here. The meth heads are doping their animals up. Can you imagine serving a warrant at a place with rottweilers on meth?
I'd have the riot pump gun at the ready!
 
I think they're just making excuses. Its a huge bear and you're on the menu anytime it wants. Just like big cat trainers your playing with a loaded gun.
Hello; Yes to this. I have pretty much figured it the same way. A woman's cycle or no the bear just needs to decide those two legged critters over there look tasty today. Also yes to the raccoon. Had one in my basement one time. I made up one of those choke loops on the end of a pole to get hold of him. Put up quite a fight. One of the neighbors came over with a small cage to put it in.
Don't know what he did with the coon but he was a coon hunter. I think he wanted to somehow use it to train up his dogs. I did not ask for details.
 
Hello; Now that I think on it the name Timmothy Timmerson sticks in my mind but it may be Treadwell. Anyway whatever his last name may be he was a guy who had himself flown into the deep wild areas where grizzlies were common. The first season he was alone and lived close among the bears. Had a camera and made a film of the bears who were actually very close to him at times.
The next season he had his girlfriend with him out in the wild. When a pilot flew in to their camp area both were gone and never to be found. Theory is the bears ate them. A movie was made around the film he had taken which I watched.
A popular notion is that somehow the woman made a fatal difference. Perhaps by having her menstrual cycle and this stirred up the bears. I also seem to recall one of the bears was more aggressive in the films.

I'm real familiar with the story, you guys know me anything outdoors related is right up my alley lol. Timothy Treadwell was a giant D'bag. His real name was Timothy Dexter, but he changed his last name to "treadwell" to personify the whole hippie treehugger thing more. He was with the bears for more than 2 seasons. If memory serves correct I believe it was around 12-13 years he spent each season in the "grizzly maze". He spent so much time around the bears (illegally) that in his own mind he completely lost all common sense that they were dangerous. What got he & his girlfriend killed was the fact that the last year they were there was a low year for the salmon run, so the bears were more aggressive and looking for food. The one that actually killed he & his GF was found with some of their remain in it later on. The bear was very underweight and possibly ill, so it was simply doing what bears do and trying to find a food source during a time when food was not as abundant. So when it came across their tent it was simply doing the natural thing a predator does.

Now I remember. They showed helicopter footage
 
There's also an audio recording of the actual attack during the time that bear killed him and his GF. One of them had a microphone on which he used for filming and it got the attack on it during the time that bear killed them that night. I won't post the link here because it's pretty gruesome, but you can hear Treadwell screaming on the audio over and over again "It's killing me!". Well no duh, maybe you shouldn't have treated grizzlies like they were house cats :screwy:
 
Good Lord,I can just imagine.I still remember the snippet of the 911 call of a woman's pet chimpanzee attacking her.The ape tore the woman's face off of her head.
