He's mentioned many times about the "sixth sense " them bears have. swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

My wife has a good repertoire of anti-bear songs for hiking in bear country. There is no question about who is the boss when a big male brownie is around. One day we had been catching rainbow trout all day at an alpine lake. We did not take any fish, but still smelled fishy. A big brownie paced us about 20 yards to the side of the trail we were using. 20 yards is about 3 seconds so I had a gun ready. After about 50 yards he drifted away. An uncle did 30 years of commercial salmon fishing and had quite a few good tales. FRAC LIVES MATTER

I enjoy your bear tales! YOU CAN IGNORE REALITY, BUT YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING REALITY. http://www.lptraplinesupply.com

Yeah they are pretty docile most of the time until you run into one in the willows along a salmon stream, or have to go into the thick stuff after a wounded one. A lot of people have been torn up and killed by them so it's always in the back of your mind. I doubt if this one had any malicious intent, probably just more curious than anything, but that doesn't really come to mind when one starts coming your way at a gallop. www.berniesbearcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/user/BowhuntingRoad/about

We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.
