SilvrT Posted December 4, 2008 #1 Posted December 4, 2008 Position: Surveyor Salary: $200 per hour (tax-free) Qualification: Must be fast on your feet Isn't it comforting to know that when you are about to become a bear's breakfast your buddy is standing there taking photos?
Squidley Posted December 4, 2008 #2 Posted December 4, 2008 I hate to say it, but I would be carrying on that job...and be having Polar Bear stew for dinner....and my friend on the camera, we'll he probably wouldn't be for very long BTW...I wonder if he actually made it into the truck ?
Yammer Dan Posted December 4, 2008 #3 Posted December 4, 2008 Feet, Don't fail me NOW!! Afraid that thing might eat my 40 cal and keep coming!!!
rod Posted December 4, 2008 #4 Posted December 4, 2008 This is the reason to have a .50 cal. (or BIGGER). This is a case for the bigger the gun the better and gun control. Rod
Ferrantelli Posted December 4, 2008 #5 Posted December 4, 2008 Then some animal activist would have you arrested for cruelty to animals. "It was cruel and inhumane to shoot the bear!" That's when you take out the gun and clean the gene pool.
midnightventure Posted December 5, 2008 #6 Posted December 5, 2008 I used to work with a guy that lead a survey crew in Alaska. He used to tell me that he always kept one fat guy on the crew. (Somebody he could out run). I think he was just kidding about that, but I think he was serious when he said that they hired natives to kill problem bears because they could do it legally.
yammie Posted December 5, 2008 #7 Posted December 5, 2008 How did my pet get out of the house, he always likes to play tag.
flb_78 Posted December 5, 2008 #8 Posted December 5, 2008 wook at da widdle baby, he just wants to play...

Just don't eat the liver. Polar bear liver is the one and only mammal meat that is poisonous to humans. Toxic levels of vitamin A. This is your useless trivia for the day. RR
Yammer Dan Posted December 5, 2008 #11 Posted December 5, 2008 Wonder if jobis still open? Bear ought to be full for a while..
sarges46 Posted December 5, 2008 #12 Posted December 5, 2008 No problems...that bear wouldnt never caught me....it would have been slipping and sliding in my poop!
AKRefugee Posted December 5, 2008 #13 Posted December 5, 2008 I spent 6 years north of the Arctic circle with a great deal of that time "on the ice". First off I think that guy running is photographer cause you can see his camera stand leaning against the truck. Polar bears LOVE photographers (yumyum) cause they are never armed. Second thing is that polar bears will stalk and hunt a man. Watched it happen with my own to eyes so know that to be very true. Third off you do not need a large caliber gun for polar bears, all you need is a 22. This is for shooting your partner in the foot so no matter what you can out run him/her.
dynodon Posted December 5, 2008 #14 Posted December 5, 2008 No doubt that is a surveyers tripod and scope leaning against the truck. Don't think getting into the truck would wise, the bear could easily break a window or rip a door off. I assume it ended happily (for the humans).

I was thinking the same thing. Best to protect yourself when in the wild.
