Never Know Who You Might Meet In the Woods

[OR Archer]

This is a crazy story that just happened today here in Oregon. This area is west of Portland about an hour or so. This type of thing is why I carry a pistol with me.

Here's a link to the press release from the local Sheriffs office

Good restraint on the hunter not to beat the living crap out of the nut bag after he got control of the situation.

 

[justinspicher]

I agree with OR Archer....

Dang.. Nothing like a naked Sasquatch to ruin your hunt... And, yes yet another reason to always have a Glock 20 on hand.. : )

Or the 29. The mini me to the 20.

I need to add a 29 to the fold... : )

 

[HOT ROD]

What the h"ll. Should of just left him.

Dang, my base weight might have to go up a couple of pounds...hmmm.

 

[realunlucky]

What a crazy thing

 

[endorice]

I don't get it. According to the report, the hunter was "holding the man at bay with his hunting rifle". I guarantee that if I had a rifle, and someone attacked me in the woods, I wouldn't hesitate to use it. No need for a pistol, the rifle would suffice

 

[larryschwartz]

endorice,

I don't think that OR archer carries a rifle, that's why he is called OR ARCHER.

OK, I am just a little bit slow! My main point is, I'm not sure why that hunter worked so hard *not* to shoot that crazy a$$ guy.

 

[boom]

man..that was a crazy story.

i would have ziptied the idiot to a tree. if i couldnt control the situation, he would have been shot..rifle whipped at the very least.

glad the hunter survived.

 

[larryschwartz]

Put yourself in the hunters shoes. You have an aggressive and unpredictable man, albeit naked, that you have to control. He isn't going to just sit there while you put down your gun and tie his hands together. I'm amazed the hunter was able to use his cell phone to call the police. As for why he didn't shoot the guy, or knock him out, think about our litigation happy society for a minute. Somebody is going to say he overreacted and abused that poor mentally ill naked man, he should have tried to help him by giving him some of his clothing or offering him food or some such nonsense.

Dang.. Now I have to add zip ties to my packing list...
Wonder how many ounces they will weigh? Who makes the best ones? What color should I go with?

True and so unfortunate! On a side note, not sure you would have ever heard about this happening up here!

Haha. I use zips to attach my tags to antlers.

Makes sense. The ones for people though are pretty burly!

 

[colonel00]

I always carry a coupe 24" or 36" zip ties. I figure they would be good for multiple things but never imagined I would need them to subdue a shorn sasquatch

 

[Darren Best]

Zip ties can be broken.

What a crazy story, one of a couple of reasons I always carry a firearm.
