Woman Clubs Bear with Shotgun, Saves Husband

By CJ Lotz

A Wisconsin man, realizing a 200-pound bear was about to attack his dog, ran outside and tried to scare the bear off, but the bear tackled him and sunk its teeth into his neck. When the man’s wife realized what was happening outside, she grabbed a shotgun, but didn’t know how to load it, so she ran outside and clubbed the bear over the head. Stunned, the bear fell away from the man long enough for the couple to run inside the cabin. Officials arrived shortly after and shot the bear.

““If it hadn’t been my wife coming out and clubbing the bear on the head, I probably wouldn’t be talking to you today,” the man said.

Kinda like self-professed bear guru Timmy Treadwell's disenchanted girlfriend trying to use a skillet to club the big grizzly that was chewing on him at their campsite in Katmai National Park. It didn't work out so well for them though. Not much was left of the couple but a few bones when the pilot came to check on them a few days later.

Glad that wasn't me. My wife would have joined the bear in the mauling.

You went outside to face a bear without being armed?
Turn your Man-Card over to your wife, it's hers now.
Your balls, too.

Can hardly imagine what would have happened if she managed to load the gun... Who knows where it would have been pointed when she pulled the trigger! Instead of braining the bruin she may have emasculated her man!

Amazing Brave Lady!
My city girl wife would call emergency 9-1-1. She would then yell out the window to tell me to play dead and help is coming.

Woman are amazing creatures. They are calmer than we are, not as strong, prone to avoid conflict and think things through. But will rush into harms way to save or defend those they love. If the good Lord takes your rib pray he makes you a lady like this man's wife.

Most black bears do not like resistance. The husband should have taken the gun wiht him in teh first place, though.

good ol joe biden was right! all ya need is a double barrel. However learning how to fire it would probably be a better option but that might have ended up with a husband full of buckshot
