There's a reason the last thing I hunted was Prairie Dogs.

City boy here, not to fond of out gallivanting where a moma bear and her cubs are.

Years back while camping we had a female bear come lay next to our tent while the cubs went looking for whatever, I'll admit I was a bit nervous.

Crappies and walleye for supper, now watching KC try to look like a football team, and failing.

Was a hell of a story. Was waiting for the punch line though. Wonder why he went for the spray with a mama bear running him down?

Not many grizzlies up here. More afraid of the cougars.

Seen a few cougars around here. I'm too old to be fit game though.

We have friends that live in Alaska, when asked what kind of pistol they carried for bears they replied 30-06 or bigger.

That was before the .500 and such calibers came out in revolvers.

Probably hoping she would stop and not have to kill her.
