I really did lose a gun in a boating accident. It was a canoe but that still counts. The guy with me left me alone and swam to shore. I recovered my rifle but he never did get his back. Karma

Glad you liked that, 330. We were canoeing in to go black bear hunting. By the time I got the canoe to shore, the outboard was dangling off the transom by a thread. Self-preservation kicked in and he abandoned me and the capsized canoe...as far as I know he could swim.

My first foray into bear hunting was about forty-five years ago and I was armed with a Colt Python and a jar of honey. I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing but I sure was intrigued by bears. Still am.

Lol....you mentioning honey brought up a memory of mine.I was guiding a old fellow that was pretty crippled up.He could not climb a tree stand so I set up a blind for him and set with him as he needed help getting around.Nothing the first 3 nights so I brought some honey I had and poured it out all around the bait.Just before dark here comes the bear.He was dozing so I nudged him whispering there is your bear.He sits uprightand.......yells theres a bear.....and there goes the bear....gone laugh

Had a nice bear coming into another bait.Hit every day.Set the guy up on it.He was a little uncomfortable leaving his tree stand so after dark I walked into him.He climbs down and says he see a nice bear that took off running.Says it was not his fault.Said he never moved or anything.I then asked him where the bear was when he first saw it?His response.....50 yards right behind him.....lol laugh.......dang man I felt like saying how did you see him?

And when we were down to the last packs of hot cocoa, he gave me the one without marshmallows. That was a different hunt but the signs were there.
