Just rest the pistol on the bear and he won't be able to get up.
Thin out their numbers, Ned!

Mmm, thin out their numbers!

Big bullets are made to open large wound channels, if you are back packing and you have use it be prepared the chance is even if hit she will chew on you unless you hit her in the brain or brake a spine.

That being said it is a nice gun it should take down any thing you shoot with it.


The problem with our drop bears is they wait in ambush and drop from a branch grabbing hold of the head and pushing down with the legs on the shoulder at the same time trying to break the neck(this has developed over thousands of years feeding on aboriginals- hence the reason aboriginals prefer the outback) usually not succeeding and the poor victim, if they live, being left with neck and facial scarring.

There is pretty much nothing that can be done other than don't walk under trees at night, a warning overseas tourists often fail to heed. At least you can see your bears coming.

We have the deadliest animals in the world and you lot still think it is a wonderful place to visit.

No drop bears in Tasmania, the last indigenous one died in captivity in 1933.

Lucky that all those drop-beat baiting programs had some success.

Especially after all the incidents when they tried to cull them with groups of hunters. A few of those turned out bad for the guys involved...

Well as soon as the push to move to the suburbs occured in the seventies something had to be done, without all the traffic noise and lights to make them move on it was just one big food pool for them and numbers exploded.

They did a good job in the end, but as you said most of the amateurs did a good job but a few weren't properly prepared. A bounty without any education beforehand simply wasn't good politics.

Very rare to see or even hear of an incident, just the odd backpacker, tourist or habitual drunk who got careless.

They shouldn't have taken the drop bear section out of our firearms safety courses I don't reckon.

Guess they were trying to reduce concern over them, but made it more dangerous in the process.
