Here in Montana, we don't run to the doctor's office over every little sneeze, sniffle, or broken bone.

Scratch wound on her leg, not a bite.

"Here in Montana, we don't run to the doctor's office over every little sneeze, sniffle, or broken bone."

So that would be, what, a 200-300 mile run?

The woman had more teeth left than the bear....had this happened in Arkansas, things would have been much more complicated...

That is a pickle size zucchini in Montana.  Had she used a full sized one the bear would have been knocked unconscious and she would have skinned it and made a rug of it. =D

Well, it was a small black bear.

Had it been a grizzly, she would have needed one of them magnum zucchinis.

That ursine fellow bear-ly survived  :O

I actually have no idea where this happened

Based on the trees and mountains I'm going to take a WAG and say BC Canada  =|



I actually think I heard an event like this happening right outside my camper trailer in the Little Belt Mts one evening.  It was dark already and I heard this horrible growling and bellowing of something that wandered by my camper and down into the woods.  I peeked out and there were a bunch of cattle all looking down into the woods.  Nearest I can figure they chased a bear out of the meadow.
