Clean liv'n, I spent the first 30 years of my life in a Monastery …..I was 38 when the photo.

If I looked a little out of breath, I didn't have a timer on the camera. Ya gotta be pretty quick to push the button, and pose with the animal! memtb

Just back from Evanston, a few days over there, catching up on LRH and watching tv. Maybe in bed by midnight! memtb

I thought all the two tone blondes were from UT

If ya wanna give the bear a fight'n chance….try this! They claimed he was 800 pounds…..I don't think he was a pound over 600! He thoroughly kicked my butt. He wasn't muzzled…..my head hurt for a week!

I actually have a great deal of respect and love for bears. Smart, powerful, very protective (young and food) animals!

2 mauling photos! memtb

425, but still impressive. Never seen that at the county fair. Well done! If not for the Pepsi cans I thought maybe that was in Dagastan or otherstan.
