That is what I call a bad week.
I think the bear would disagree with you.That is what I call a bad week.
Unless the bear was just messin' with him, it sounds like it didn't get it's way either.I think the bear would disagree with you.
Beats the he'll out of any elk hunt I've been on.....
So what..kill an elk......
Play life an death with a crazed griz..
That's a memory not soon forgotten...
Agreed. I lived in Alaska for years, and never hiked, fished or hunted without my .41 mag attached to me. I can't imagine a miner who would not arm himself in bear country. I still wear a pistol at all times, a smaller one in town and a larger caliber when out of town.Walking about in bear country without a .44 is like not walking without shoes and expecting now to step on a stone.
